Can I use this to control the freezer while still letting the refrig at normal 35-40 degrees?

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!

no it will start and stop the whole unit when the temp is reached in the freezer the whole unit will shut off plus most refrigerators use the cooling from the freezer with a fan and blend dampener which won't work when the temp in the freezer is met

Probably not, but I might be mistaken. This works as a power cut off and since most refrigerators/freezers only have one outlet, you probably can't control both via this unit.

We put the device in freezer right after we bought it in order to test the temperature alert, but the heavy metal door of the refrigerator prevented signal transferring. I believe the device probably will survive the frozen temperature in a freezer, but you probably wouldn't be able to read the temperature because there's no signal. We have been using this device for around a year so far, it works well, so far no issue. Definitely serves the purpose.

Looks like you've got some good answers! I don't have a very good set up to do that due to a kitchen planning flaw that doesn't allow the freezer door to open fully. *sigh*

If I understand your question correctly yes you can. I have my unit programmed to keep my keezer at 40 degrees, plus or minus a degree. If the keezer gets to 41 it kicks on the compressor, once it gets to 40 it turns off. It'll typically continue to drop down to 39ish before it stabslizes. If you want to keep yours between 34-37 you could set the temp to 35.5 plus or minus 1.5 degrees.

Yes, I have used it at about 35 degrees F. It's components are an electric motor, hydraulic fluids and metal and they should all work below freezing.

The heater control is not intended to be a thermostat that will keep an area temperature no lower than a setting. It keeps the heater no colder than a setting so my heater came on briefly when the temperature was 25F. It didn't significantly heat the area. I would not trust this heater to keep an area from going below freezing, The outside temperature plays a major role in the temperature that this or similar heaters heat an area. By experement you could find a setting that would keep an area at 40F but if the outside temp. took a dive the inside temp will also go down but not as much. If you need to freeze protect an area plug your heater into a Farm Innovators TC-3. Find one on Amazon. It kicks on at 35F

Thermostate is set to 50° so if you keep the thermostat inside whatever it is you're trying to keep from freezing outside will freeze very nice.

Yes you can. The refrigeration unit is all around the freezing cylinder and is no problem

Leslie, If you had the kegerator made from a freezer yes this item will work for what you need. If it is a kegerator you bought it should have a control inside it.to help control what temp you want it to be. Tommy G

It says it can. I use them in our Freezers at -5 degrees. Easy installation, great coverage and our IT dept likes the management software. POE so no need for power.

I converted a freezer to a beer fermentation cooler with it. I don't see why you couldn't.

I just checked the thermostat and it only goes down to 45 degrees. If you are trying to use this for freeze protection, you might look into a space heater with a built-in digital thermostat.

You can have it at any level, but there is a safety buffer at 40 degrees. There is an option to turn off completely as well.

It goes down to 40, but be careful. 40 degrees at the interior location of the thermostat does not guarantee that the basement and pipes in exterior walls will stay above freezing. If you have fixtures on exterior walls, typically kitchen sink, leave the sink base cabinet door open to allow the pipes to be exposed to warmer room air

I don't see why you couldn't. As long as you are not placing the contact sensor inside of the freezer. Some sensors will malfunction at extreme temperatures.

Nope. There is only one control that will work for the entire fridge. Once the fridge hits your desired temp, the whole fridge will shut down. Your freezer will stay cold, depending on how often you open it, but items will not freeze.

Yes you can! All you have to do is plug in the device, put the probe into the freezer, soon to be fridge, and set it to the temp you want. We used a thermometer inside the fridge as well to ensure the temp is correct. The probe will probably hang on a shelf to the side unless you get something for it to rest on, but it works really well for our beer fridge.
