Wanted to check with the community to see if my plans raised any red flags with the more electricity-savvy folks. We have an old Perlick 5063ESC kegerator with an analog thermostat that I would like to override with an STC-1000.
Because the compressor is plugged into a separate internal outlet (controlled by the built-in thermostat), my plan is to wire the STC-1000 between that outlet and the compressor, set the thermostat to its coldest setting, and enjoy more precise control over the kegerator's temperature while still having the evaporator fan running and a functional light inside...
Anyone see an issue with the kegerator's "Min. Circuit Ampacity" of 8.6A and the STC-1000's 10A rating?
