Cheap Amico 1NC 1NO AC 250V/380V 16A 0-40C Temperature Control Switch
Works well, keep temperature within a degree or two of the setting. I would recommend this to others for refrigeration control.I bought this to control an exhaust fan in my sunroom, that currently has a regular 'light switch' to control it manually. The Amico is rated for plenty of amps, and while it worked for my purpose there are things that would help. First, while it is small enough to fit in a switch box, the electrodes stick straight up which necessitated bending them back, bending the spade connectors, mounting the switch below midline, and swathing the whole thing in electrical tape since the connectors pushed against the metal box. I also had to cut a sheet steel plate to hold it in place. It will be ok, but the seller might help by providing a stamped metal plate to fit a standard receptacle box and providing some flexibility for connections, i.e. screw or push in fittings. Still, a very affordable solution for the problem. Would be perfect for a beer fridge, in the right temp range.
