Just search stc-1000, i think i paid about $25 for mine compared to ones they have at jaycar that are similar which are about $50, and from what iv read on here and AHB lots of people have them and are pretty happy with them.

Matty D Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hey - Congrats [cool] Thermo control & heat belt/mat are on my xmas list (already have a second fridge that hardly ever gets used). Quick question though (may be a little silly) but do you just put a hole in the door/side of the fridge to get the leads to the heat belt and temp probe in/out?[roll] Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidP17 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'd be a bit hesitant about drilling a hole in the fridge, my temp sensor lead is really thin and i just close the fridge door on it and it seals pretty well around it, i guess you could put some silicon around the tiny gap it creates if you were really keen.

Guest Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 You can get them for less than $17 HERE I just drilled a hole in the back of my fridge that was just big enough to squeeze the probe and power cord through. No probs with the fridge I have. If you want to drill a hole but are not sure where your lines run then just make a slurry of cornflour and water and paint this to the fridge and leave it to dry. You will see where your lines are through this mix. The easier way is just go through your door seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Son is an Electrician/Refrigeration Mechanic, he wired my STC- 1000 direct to Fridge with temp probe & heater wires inserted through back of Fridge where thermostat & internal light wires go in. A nice neat job. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
