can this be used on a refrigerator or only just a freezer?

it can be used on both. it only turns the fridge/freezer on to get it to the temperature you set then activates as needed to regulate the temperature.

It can be used on a fridge. I use mine to lager beer in my refrigerator, it's currently holding the temp at 35F

I purchased a small refrigerator at Costco. I've seen them also at Sam's and Walmart. This small unit had no freezer section. I only needed it to maintain a constant temp inside so my beer batch would age properly. Hope this helps.

Be sure to perform a test run of at least 2 - 3 days to verify the temperature selection dial is accurate; mine was within about 1 - 2 degrees. I'd recommend having at least one remote reading thermometer inside the box, so you can monitor temperature without opening the door. Something like a freezer alarm works well, or a battery powered outdoor thermometer that radios back to an indoor display unit. Also if humidity is an aging criterion, play around with various sizes of pans of water in there.

I wouldn't recommend you use this unit as a fridgerator. I doubt the unit can recover and hold the desired temp in frequent door open situations.

I don't see why not... That's actually a great idea! I just tried it out in my freezer, it works great

Although I've never tested its use in a refrigerator I would think it would improve the seal as the air cools down it would contract and create more of a vacuum within the container. However, I would not place it in a freezer compartment as the seals may freeze and possible crack when you try to open the container.

Think only one will work. One is for the frig & the other is designated for the freezer. Unknown if they are interchangeable

No, this is for a range of 20 to 80 degrees use in a refrigerator. There are others out there that will.

We used ours in a RV and it turned on just like a normal freezer. We bought it because we had limited space space and we needed more. If it had run all the time it would have been a major problem it an RV. You can also contact the manufacturer if you really have to confirm this.

Believe me you won't regret buying one. My freezer would do all kinds of stupid stuff like door light won't work freezer would be extremly cold and won't shut off or compressor wouldnt turn on. Every thing would run fine if I pull the control panel board. Until the next day it would act up... has to be a bad compassitor.

It actually depends on your freezer. I put mine in the freezer compartment of our side-by-side refrigerator and it freezes in a few hours. Our chest freezer doesn't work as fast. That's why I have at least two of these coolers on hand so while one is freezing, I can use the other one. Good Luck.

If you are talking about a single refrigerator/freezer unit like those commonly found in a kitchen the answer is no. That is because the J.C. unit plugs into the wall and the refrigerator/freezer appliance plugs into the J.C. unit. The J.C. unit has a probe that measures the temperature in the freezer. Whether or not electricity is allowed through the J.C. unit to the appliance depends on the temperature in the freezer. When the temperature in the appliance rises above that allowed by the setting, electricity is allowed to pass to the appliance which is how the compressor comes on. As the typical refrigerator/freezer only has one single plug you would not be able to use the freezer with the J.C. unit independent of the refrigerator. I hope this helps and best wishes!

I use the refrigerator. For spices, coffee, etc. don't use the freezer as the temperature breaks down the oils.

Either a full sized fridge or a chest freezer. I use a chest freezer turned into a fridge

I installed one on my refrigerator 10 years ago and it is still working. I had a 30 year old whirlpool upright freezer I installed another one on it to fix intermittent compressor start problem. It worked for a few weeks but the freezer compressor failed no fault of the RCO. If properly installed and it don't fix the problem you probably need a new appliance or professional opinion.

If you are going to be gone for a length if time and you are in a lot if hear I would keep in the freezer. If you only out for a few hours and regular tempatures then the fridge would be fine.

As long as oven is preheated. But it cant go from oven to freezer without first cooling.

The freezer is very small. I use it mainly to store beer and wine. (Nothing in the freezer.)

You mean if you have a side by side fridge and freezer? You could lock one to the other. Put one on the freezer door and one on the fridge door and lock them together. It attaches with adhesive and it's strong.
