Title pretty much says it all... Where do I place the temp probe in a chest cooler?
I just got a Haier 7.1cu chest freezer and I am going to add a STC-1000 as an on/off switch. I'm going to use this diagram and an extension cord to function as the temp controller. I'm using an extension cord rather then hard wiring because my wife does not want me to F#@%-up a new $200 item. I used this in the past for a water heater for a HLT and it worked great. I just don't have a clue where the probe should be in a cooler. Top? Bottom? Side? Dangling? Away from the compressor bump? Close to it?
I'm just looking for the place to put it to get the best use of it.
Thanks
