Vino Temp

Scott I would love to do that but if I remember it was a little more costly to go that route. Johnson controllers and such.

About $50 for an analog unit from Johnson Controls or a digital from Ranco.

Analog unit isn't as precise, but you don't have to reprogram it when the power is cut and then restored. Also no real wiring to undertake, you just run the probe and plug the controller into the wall and then plug the refrigerator, after setting to max cooling, into the back of the controller plug.

The Ranco is accurate to within about 1 degree, far more than necessary for storing cigars, and requires basic wiring skills to hook up. It also would have to be reprogrammed after a power outage.

I can look up the model numbers for you later if you are interested.

No need for a temp controller if you get the right unit.
All you need is some fans and an ac adapter and beads. Super easy.
I have 3 of these units, Mac has one, and I've never done a thing. Never had to replace a fan, either. They're all about 6 years old, and should last indefinately as little as they cycle.

Pm or post the specifics Scott. Thanks

Frigidaire Model #FWC342GB
That's a 34 bottle, they were right around 200 bucks.
I looked at Lowe's, they're no longer available. Look around and you may find one on the cheap.

It's not a model-specific issue, really. That one is just super easy to retrofit and you don't need a controller.
Don't tell anyone I told you.

Looks like it's the Model #: FFWC35L2QB cooler now. 250 bucks.
