Isn't my temperature controller (dial) supposed to override the danby?
Or will I have to make all the changes like psycho dad?

Thanks
NO, the new TC will not override the danby. from mhabby post, "My modifications were mostly the same as Chadschloss78 did to his, minus installation of drip pan. I took tower and cover off, found control panel, and cut black and red wires going into control panel, and then connected the black and red going back to compressor. I also capped the red and the black wires going into the control panel. This essentially took control away from Danby (one could argue they lost control when they designed this thing". See picture from psychodad post, danby_IMG_0811.jpg Locate the red and black wires, mod per above and plug back into your new temp control. Added info. Here's what it should look like after mod. this way the temp display will still work on the front of the unit.danby_after_IMG_0811.JPG
