Subject: refrigerator during the winter
|
I have discovered that when the weather gets cold my refrigerator does
not run when it gets below my set temperature of 60 degrees. No big
deal but it means my freezer also does not run and that is where I
store my hops. Doh! So, I've heard that some people will place a low
wattage bulb inside their refrigerator. I'd like to do this in the
safest manner possible so I'm looking for advice. For those who have
gone down this road, how have you installed the light fixture and what
kind of wattage is necessary?
Thanks,
Dave

If the unit already has a built in light you only have to jump the switch
that shuts it off when you close the door.

Find the switch that pushes in when you close the door.
Sometimes you can just pop out the switch with a screwdriver. Unplug the
unit.
Pop out the switch. Remove the two wires from the switch and connect them
together. Tape them up.
If you will want to reverse this mod., you can duct tape the wires down
against the wall, other wise stuff them in the switch hole and put the
switch back in.

Depending on the type of switch I imagine you could probably just duct
tape it.
