Can I hook this up to a fridge to maintain a 64 degree F while maintaining the freezer at its normal temps?

It would depend on your refrigerator. Most refrigerators are cooled from a single compressor and coil system. Some have one compressor and two coils. You would need at least this dual-coil setup. The wiring hack would be very tricky and discouraged for a DIYer. These kinds of fridges are already expensive and messing with the wiring would void the warranty and possibly destroy the machine. Probably easier and safer to get a dedicated fridge and freezer for each purpose you need. They come in all shapes and sizes, so space really wouldn't be a problem.

I don't see why you couldn't. Each Freezealarm would monitor the temperature in the area where placed.

Hi Terry, The answer is "no"... unless you plan un using Battery Back-up. If you have a battery bank, then maybe. Your really need a battery bank and around 500W panel array (or more) if you want to run a fridge/freezer 24 hours / day.... and if you get several days in a row of no sunshine... it could be tricky.

On a standard refrigerator (like top-freezer models), there is one thermostat for the entire unit. Vents in the freezer section allow cold air to cool the fridge section. You didn't ask, but I would recommend the digital version of this temp controller. The analog controller is fairly inaccurate, in my experience and according to other reviews I have read.

It says it can. I use them in our Freezers at -5 degrees. Easy installation, great coverage and our IT dept likes the management software. POE so no need for power.

this will handle both. keep in mind each appliance draws from the generator until they reach the set temperature. the fridge and freezer can be unplugged as they are not using power. if you plug in your fridge and freezer a couple of times a day you should be fine. I run my fridge in the morning for a couple hours or until it reaches set temp. again about 2 hours before bedtime.

I think that all the answers cover the purpose in brief. Simply, if the external temperature in the garage or storage area drops below the setpoint that would normally turn on the fridge compressor, the fridge will not start and the temperature in the freezer portion can rise to the temperature of the external temperature, i.e., above the freezing point, and well above the recommended storage temperature of the freezer. The device is a little heater coil that imposes an artificially warmer temperature on the refrig temperature controller that "fools" it into thinking that it must turn on to preserve the cooling in both sections of the fridge

The freezer is what keeps the fridge cold but if you get a fridge thermostat controller you can set it to a certain temp and it will keep turning the freezer on and off to keep it at a certain temp

Unfortunately there is not way to control de temperature. Basically if you want to keep something frozen, fil the cooler with ice cubes.

No this will not turn your freezer into a heater if you are looking at building a fermentation chamber capable of heat and cool then you need a dual controller and a heating device. Spend some time on YouTube you'll figure it out

Yes unless room temperature could go below 32F. Sensors are not reliable if subject to freezing temperatures, generally.

No, this is for a range of 20 to 80 degrees use in a refrigerator. There are others out there that will.

Who knows -- attached to a metal door it would seem to lose connection at 15' of the freezer. I've also had it be pretty reliable at 20' of the refrigerator. It may be that the device range is different given different temperatures

yes... I'm using it on a reach in fridge to ferment beer and can control the temp on the beer to a specific degree. remember it only allows 10amps.

yes - it would if you don't need a separate freezer compartment. It is a single compartment that can be set to work as a refrigerator or freezer. seems to work fine, but with a somewhat large temperature range of control - maybe plus or minus 5 or more degrees F.

I can't think of any reason that you could not if your freezer is configured for it.

If I understand your question correctly yes you can. I have my unit programmed to keep my keezer at 40 degrees, plus or minus a degree. If the keezer gets to 41 it kicks on the compressor, once it gets to 40 it turns off. It'll typically continue to drop down to 39ish before it stabslizes. If you want to keep yours between 34-37 you could set the temp to 35.5 plus or minus 1.5 degrees.
