Testing
@MonkeyProof 's post
I've had my 50L Ironman 4x4 fridge for nearly 3 years now. I'm also the 3rd owner of this fridge. The previous owners were @wheeleveryweekend who had owned it for sometime before I acquired it from them. They got it from some dude at pirate4x4. So, there's some history and abuse behind my fridge. It's definitely beat up, but works great. Until very recently when the internal temps wouldn't remain steady as where it was set too. Instead, it was all wacky freezing beers. And that my friends is never a good thing.
The display would read 117° when it had nearly sub zero temps internally.
I contacted customer support at Ironman4x4 USA and told them my sad story. Right away the thermometer sensor probe was suspected to be at fault. I was asked to check the temperature variances between the bottom and top of the fridge with a thermometer to verify it was indeed the thermometer sensor probe. The customer support I had recieved was outstanding! And luckily for me, the temperature sensor probe is only $10 with free shipping, how rad is that?
Replacement IceCube Fridge Thermometer Probe
It's a very straight forward procedure to remove and replace the probe following the directions that were provided.
Once the lower corner cover is removed to expose the circuit board. You'll need to create some working room in order to unplug the thermometer probe from it's connector at the circuit board. These two steps are not mentioned in the Ironman 4x4 instructions, but will help out a lot.
Remove the Brown and Blue wires from the connector.
Remove this bracket that is held in place by three screws.
The thermometer probe sensor connector at the circuit board is located here.
