In a video by @Techconnectify@mas.to, Alec goes into a deep dive into the simplicity of his particular model, its shortcomings and variety of data logging tests in an attempt to fix them.

TL,DW: Very simple, cheap and ingenious design, with one compressor loop between the fridge and freezer in series. However, its temperature sensor is wonky and so the fridge is more affected by how long the compressor operates than the actual temperature itself. There is a signficant temperature differential between the top and bottom, fans on the exterior or interior could help but with the faulty sensor only made matters worse. With the controller replaced with a proper temp control unit the fridge functioned much better.

    Woah, neat! Thanks!

    We don’t see many induction stoves here, though they do exist they’re really expensive compared to a glass top. The few houses in wealthy areas that I’ve been in have pretty much all had an induction top and two stacked ovens.

      I mean, to be clear just because I have an induction stove doesn’t mean everyone here does ;) although these days you can get “budget” option induction cookers. I see a lot of inbuilt traditional electric, but gas stoves are slowly becoming less common in NL because new buildings usually don’t have gas.

        Yeah, I didn’t mean to suggest I thought it was everyone, I just think they’re really cool tech and having it be more common is cool.
