Just read this entire thread. Incredible write up John.
OK, have some statistics... granted its without much of a load in the cooler. I actually think the unit will be somewhat more efficient with a heavy load... but could be wrong.
The unit has now been running for 24 hours at 33 degrees while plugged into the "Kill A Watt". It averaged .2 KWPH or 4.8 KW during the entire 24 hour period. I'm going to estimate $.10 per KW - meaning it cost $.48 to run. Remember it is the dead of August and is probably hardest at work this time of year. Tickle me pleased...
Thats what I thought but I didnt know if yours had the overload protector (thats where the brown wire is coming from).
Did your Diagram look like this?
Only in Wisconsin...land of the cheese and the built-in fruit cellars in our basements...

05m50dan,
That is basically what I am doing with my walkin. I have my main space powered by the AC unit and then a lagering box that is maintained at whatever temp I want. If I need to cool the box, I run a fan from one chamber into the other. When I need to heat it, I have a reptile aquarium heating pad stuck to a piece of glass inside the box that turns on. The lager box is about 3'x3'x3' and the fridge is roughly 6'x4'x7'.
FYI, screw the CoolBot, use a small string of Christmas lights, a single small bulb heats up to 100*F and will trick the AC into turning on when put next to the AC's thermostat. I keep the AC plugged in all of the time and the Christmas lights are controlled by the Ranco temperature controller.
