🌡️ KT8230 Digital Temperature Controller Thermostat Regulator: Efficient Fahrenheit -22~572℉ Heating Cooling for Incubator, Brooder, Refrigerator, Fermenter, Greenhouse, Reptile - 120VAC 30A Review

Used to control the temperature of an electric smoker. Works perfectly. Just set the temperature range where you want to keep smoking, for example, and it will turn on and off as needed. Now I can sit and not have to worry about checking the temperature every few minutes.

I used these types of devices before I included PID controllers. These are the clearest instructions I know. two short pieces with a wire nut. These two hot lines go into #1 and #3. #2 is your hot-to-heater/cooler switch. #4 is the white neutral and the other white is from the heater/cooler. #5 and 6 are for the temperature probe with the ends kindly stripped and finished. Works well but most importantly - few disappointments with good recommendations.

The device only works if you "just like that" squeeze the housing and the temperature display is switched off. I opened it up, melted some bad looking solder joints and fixed the power issue. However, the temperature values still differ by more than 10 degrees from each other. I tried to calibrate it but the setup menu didn't look like the instructions and I could never get into the calibration menu (only one setup option I could change was set to 202 by default - set point maybe but who…

I bought this digital thermostat (DT) model because it can handle 30 amps instead of the 10 amps of most other DTs.

The easiest way to wire this DT to control your fridge/freezer is to simply connect it in series with your existing thermostat and then install the component. on the coldest setting. (If the existing thermostat is faulty or failing, then just remove it and connect an AP instead.) To do…
