Greetings,
I was hoping to get an opinion on what the "acceptable" cut in-cut out range should be on a residential chest freezer. For example, with the dial on the remote bulb (cheap) thermostat set at mid range on the unit in question my recording Fluke meter will fluctuate between 17 below zero and 12 above zero F. (there is about 100 lbs of product in the freezer). When the sensitive fluke probe is inserted into a heatsink (small potato) the fluctuation is reduced to about ten below to about 10 above. The thermostat dial rotates almost a full circle (1-5) and you need to move the dial almost all the way both ways to get a click. This is a new chest freezer. Hopefully I can get a little thermostat/freezer inservice. Thanks!
