I noticed that you're passing wiring through the door. Is there not a gap being made in the gasket that way? Or you found a solution for it? I have a similar small fridge only with glass door that I'm working on at the moment.
Yes I just did for both fridges from the side in the bottom corners and it worked great. I didn't want to drill holes and run wires other way. I sold my little fridge, was very easy to remove all equipment and I sold it as perfectly functioning fridge. Did the same with a glass door one. Ran all wires in the bottom corner and that gap is actually so small that nothing ever can get in. Wires are thin, so it never been an issue, doors close properly too.
Yeah I get your point. I'm not sure if there's tubes in walls of this fridges with cooling backplate, so at this time my greatest concern is that if I drill holes I may kill the fridge. That is why I'm interested in trying to do it how you did. Also my equipment is a bit different but the principle is the same.
@@hammertiming8423 @hammertiming8423 I'm sure it will be fine. That's why I don't want to drill any holes in the fridges.. if something does not work you can always adjust and make changes, but once the holes are drilled, you can't go back.. Another tip, if you fridge is cycling to often, put your sensor in an empty glass bottle
You was right, I hotglued everything through the door and thickened a bit the area where the gap is, and there's no gap at all now. So far in the last 24h temperature and humidity is constantly in the parameters i initially setup. I'll try to put sensor in a bottle now to see if anything changes, cheers.
@@hammertiming8423 Yep, great! Keep testing! Don't forget once you start loading fresh products, your humidity will go up to 85-87% but it's ok, it will stabilize after couple weeks and if you getting green mold you will need to install small fan like I did to circulate the air
Can you provide more details on the timer? How it is wired? I am having the same issue with the excessive dehumidifying, I am also starting with a bar fridge.. Also, do you have a link to the timer from Amazon? Thank you!
Hey! Check discription, it's in discription the link. Wiring is very simple, but some guys might be confused so I can actually make a detailed video, explaining. Follow me here and I will make one this weekend for everyone 👍
@@westcoastcharcuterie sounds good! Thanks again. Just out of curiosity: in your experience how does having it on cooler side(say 50.6-51f) effect the product?

@@westcoastcharcuterie 1) On average,: - how often do you need to fill the humidifier tank? And - how often do you empty the dehumidifier? Great video, thank you!
@@SS-pi2yi during winter months I can easily go about a month without refilling water and maybe 3-4weeks on dehumidifier, but in summer months or if you have a lot of fresh products it can cut down to 2-3weeks. During summer fridge cycles much more often, builds up more moisture, etc.. but average 3-4 weeks. You can safely go on vacation haha! One thing I would highly recommend is get wifi thermometer and set up alerts, it already saved me once when my fridge died all the sudden! It's extremely useful
@@westcoastcharcuterie ah yes wifi monitoring is a great tip . Is it a special type of humidifer that one should use in this curing chamger application ? like a cool mist ? or warm mist or ultrasonic or evaporative etc? What type is the one you are using? (or simply make/model # etc) - thanks again!
@@SS-pi2yi I used the cheapest available haha. Do not buy something fancy, electronic screen etc..
