Do you run your fridgador? If so, do you have condensation?
So, I have a great Edgestar 28 Fridgador with beautiful Chaden drawers. Here's the problem... I can't get my humidity down below 69% during the summer. I have three 8oz Shilala bead bags in there, 65%'ers, but my humidity wont drop below 69% after about a month. I have yet to actually plug the thing in, since I don't need the temperature control though.
So, I'm seriously considering plugging it in for the dehumidification it would provide, which may help bring the dang thing into equilibrium. The main concern I have though is condensation. I have it in the basement, which has relatively high ambient RH (70+RH), and I get about 67deg temp in the summer at least... although both are pretty stable throughout the year. I realize there are various ways to deal with the condensation (don't put anything on the bottom, but a drip pan with some beads, etc.) but the idea of condensation still really bothers me... and if I'm going to get condensate by turning the thing on... well, I'd rather live with the 69% RH I think.
So... what do you think? If I plug it in, will I have condensation? At all? If so, how bad will it be?
I'm doing a poll to see what other people's experience is...
