is this a thermoelectric cooler or does it use a freon compressor unit like a standard refrigerator?

This is not a thermoelectric cooler. It has a compressor just like a refrigerator. It's not the quietest unit, but the entire inside compartment is cooled including the hoses. This unit is way better than the thermoelectric models. I highly recommend this unit!

There is no compressor so the starting and running watts are the same on both AC and DC modes. The amp draw on AC is 0.75 and the amp draw on DC is 7.5 amps. On DC there is NO temperature adjustment, it just runs full blast (same on propane mode). On AC there is a temperature adjustment. This unit works "okay" on AC mode and performs poorly on both DC and propane modes. For the money, I recommend a ARB brand fridge over this unit.

There is a small cable that connects the exterior compressor unit with the interior cooling unit. You run it right along with the two Freon lines. Power comes in the side of the exterior compressor. AC power comes into the exterior unit on the same end as the Freon and interconnecting cable. In a typical installation, you would run a flexible conduit to a safety disconnect switch nearby. Since the units draw so little power, #14 wiring to the disconnect is more than adequate.

This unit is for cooling and dehumidifying. So turns a cooler on at high temp and turns a dehumidifier on at high humidity.

This is a very nice fridge/freezer. At start up it ran at 4.6 amp. Once it reaches temp, it runs at less than 1 amp. You will be very happy with this appliance. With the seperate compartment, you get very little frost, too.

No it uses a conventional compressor and refrigerant like a small dorm fridge works very quickly and well. Ice in minutes.

It's the same type as your refrigerator has. G16. I have one in my fridge. Decreases heat within the fridge increasing (marginally) efficiency. Also uses less energy.

i cannot answer. but do not purchase. much like the others on here, the cooler stopped working after one year. i can't find a manual anywhere online, nor did it come with one, to see if this is something that can be fixed.

It would depend on your refrigerator. Most refrigerators are cooled from a single compressor and coil system. Some have one compressor and two coils. You would need at least this dual-coil setup. The wiring hack would be very tricky and discouraged for a DIYer. These kinds of fridges are already expensive and messing with the wiring would void the warranty and possibly destroy the machine. Probably easier and safer to get a dedicated fridge and freezer for each purpose you need. They come in all shapes and sizes, so space really wouldn't be a problem.

No! It's cooled with an thermoelectric element (Peltier-Element) which are those metal sheets next to each other and a ventilator (which makes some noise) which helps distributing the cooler air in the box. That's all. We use ice to cool it down fast and keep it "fridge cold" for a little while (ice will melt in a day, even with this thing running for 4 to 8 hours while on the road in summer time).

Yes, your refrigerator also uses the 300 watt heating element as do many of the Norcold units.

Noise like any small fridge, not noisy to me. Not sure about thermoelectric. Works just like any small fridge

I have model # FFRE1033Q1. The amp draw is 7.7 in cooling mode. EER rating is 11.3. You can go to the Frigidaire web site to get the complete specs. There are several 10000 btu models. The one you are looking for is the model number I indicated above. AC units are listed under Home Comfort. You can also down load the manual.

It is an industrial unit most likely made ro replace an existing control. I love this unit. Keeps my beer right above freezing. I converted an entire fridge frezer and all into a beer storage and fermenting cooler. Perfect for brewing with yeasts that demand a certain temp range. I bought a heavy duty 10 foot extension cord and wired this baby in

Yes as long as you wire the start, run, and common correctly to compressor it will work on any refrigerator. Of course the power also has to be hooked correctly to ensure the compressor goes off with defrost and thermostat.

NO it's to small. You also need to remember that you will need a large Inverter probably 2000 watt or more to start the compressor. I am running a 130 watt refrigerator with 2 100 watt panels, and it's powered by a 750 watt Inverter that just starts it. My opinion is with today's technology it is not practical to run A/C.

Inverter has a variable speed compressor. Regular has a standard compressor.
