E: System Runs, Box Temperature Too Low: 
 
 1  Thermostat setting 
Rotate thermostat knob to a lower 
number. 
2  Thermostat type 
Check that you are using a refrigerator 
thermostat (0028) for a refrigerator 
application. 
3  Faulty thermostat 
If system is running continuously & 
box temperatures are too low with 
thermostat set on the lowest number, 
first check for correct thermostat 
connections at the Module, then remove 
one connection. If compressor stops, 
turn off breaker, replace connection & 
then control system manually from the 
breaker until the thermostat can be 
replaced. 
4  Holding plate over-sized 
If you are using a holding plate 
evaporator that is over-sized for the 
application, it will absorb more heat 
than that which enters the box through 
the insulation, & so lowers the 
temperature. Experiment by covering 
some of the plate surface with 
insulating material until you achieve 
correct box temperatures. This method 
will also increase hold-over times.  
5  Poor spillover system 
construction 
If you are running the evaporator as a 
freezer, & cooling an adjoining 
refrigerator compartment with some 
spillover air, there must be an adequate 
thermal barrier between the two, & it 
must be properly sealed to prevent 
unwanted air-flow. Temperatures in the 
refrigerator side should be controlled 
either with trial-&-error convection 
holes, or a thermostatically controlled 
fan.  Two apertures are necessary, one 
high & one low for adequate air 
circulation.
