BT,
I am also in the same boat with the temp variation. Mine reads 54 on the unit, but the actual temp on the center shelf is 64-65f.
I would sure like to extend that wire a touch and place that bulb on the back of that center shelf to get an accurate reading, and also drop the temp a degree or two. It is at its coldest setting when the door reads 54, so I guess by relocating the bulb the cooler could actually be a bit more efficient......
Very interesting, I am going to dig into this a bit.
Also if you guys discover your units are not draining do not be surprised. The drain is a piss poor design, it is not a straight thru drain , it goes down then hits an elbow and then down and out, and even better mine was clogged with the insulating foam from the assembly line. I drilled straight thru with a 3/8" drill bit right out the bottom of the cabinet then epoxied a plastic tube in place, so I can either have it drain into the pan or slip a drain line over the protruding plastic tube and use a plastic bottle to catch the condensation. I tried both and it now works like a charm. That sounds bad but it was an easy fix, and now there is absolutely no residual condensation in the cooler.
see ya
Mike
