Hi Everyone,
Got my fridge setup back at the end of Nov 16 (complete with controller etc), but seem to be having a few problems with heaters.
It would appear that I have burnt out two of them, the second quite quickly. It only lasted a couple a weeks tops.
I'm using these 40W Tube heaters https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Mobile-H...id=1493049414&sr=8-1&keywords=40w+tube+heater
Are others using the same ?
Space is a bit tight in the bottom of the fridge and I think that's where the problem is, not enough airflow to cool the heater therefore its get too hot and burns out.
I have thought about adding small fan to force air flow across the heater in an attempt to keep it from over heating.
Would be interested to hear what you guys are using to warm up the fridge.
