So I received my Johnson A19 temperature controller on Friday, and my Avanti 28 bottle wine chiller on Saturday, and decided to hook them up today. (Being an electronics tech for an Inverter company) I apparently, had either not had enough sleep, or not enough coffee this morning to make sense of the schematic that Johnson Controls provide with their controller. "Seeing as it is the best schematic I have ever seen in my life!" :laugh: So I thought I would provide a simple run down on how to hook it up. This is assuming you have purchased the un-wired version as I have.
Since we are dealing with cooling only, lets do it this way:
We will be dealing with three colors. White, Black and Green, and assuming you cut a three line extension cord in half as I did for your connections.
Place the cord with the female end into the connector, and connect the black wire onto the "Close on temp increase" terminal, it's the one with the yellow dot by it. Place the other cord into the controller and connect the black wire onto the "common" terminal, it's the one with the red dot by it. Take a wire nut and tie the 2 white, or neutral wires together. You should have a ground screw on the controller case itself, and this is where you tie the 2 green wire's together. Plug the fridge into the female pigtail and plug the male end into your power outlet. :thumbs:
I hope this helps the other BsOTL with common brain lapses like myself. And a big thanks goes out to gandolf565 who helped me wrap my brain around it on an off day!!
