Thermostat cold warm in out
« on: December 27, 2018, 05:42:49 pm »
Can someone please explain to me, what are warm in , warm out  and cold out temperatures in specification for fridge thermostat.

Specifically Ranco k60p1134 and Ranco k60p1013. I bought the latter one as a replacement.

The temperature numbers show when the fridge compressor switches on and off. The temperature dial has a range as well (warm, cold) and there is another value for defrost mode, a warming heater is controlled.

Ranco Varifix VP4 K60P1013, 1 door refrigerator, push-button manual defrost, 1.2m capilliary, 1/4" fastons
Dial set to warmest:
Warm cut-out -10ºC
Warm cut-in -4°C

Dial set to coolest:
Cold cut-in -19°C
Cold cut-out -25ºC

Said another way:
Dial range -25ºC to -10ºC (cut-out) with differential of 6ºC.

I can't find data on the K60P1134, it would have different temperature range.
It's too bad manufacturers don't put a R-C snubber across the thermostat contacts to lessen arcing and extend the lifetime. I had to do this on an old fridge that ate thermostats.

FYI, most mechanical refrigeration thermostats can be "calibrated" by turning an adjustment screw.
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.
