Ive done quite a bit of searching but havent found the exact issue to my problem. I have a Summit SBC-500 kegorator that is installed outside in a covered patio. It has been running great for 2.5 years, then recently it started freezing my kegs. I backed off the temperature but even at the lowest (highest temp) setting it freezes the keg. I called Summit and they suspect the thermostat has gone bad. Easy fix, but here is where my question comes in: Would it be smarter to just switch to a digital Temp controller to have more control that I have seen so many of you do? If yes, would I still need to replace the internal thermostat that is broken, or just plug in the new controller since the Summit is technically no longer controlling temperature anyway.
Second part of this is the kegorator is installed in a built in brick grill island and can get we occasionally. The Johnson A421AEJ-02C would work because it is water tight, but there is really no way to install something like the this that will look appealing because of the large power cord (see picture of setup). Is there any type of unit that could be installed inside the kegorator itself? Obviously this eliminates the ability to control externally, but does offer better temperature control. Any help is greatly appreciated.
