David and all thank you so much. I have some clear suggestions to follow and am following. We use a soapstone stove that I clean and fill usually twice a...
With everyone trying to help the disaster victims, it's hard to know who to give the $$ to... Here's the official list as of this morning 9-1-2005 Keep all of...
Sue, The most efficient and thus least-energy consuming air conditioning system is a ground source heat pump. These are made with a SEER of 27, far beyond a...
Sue, (and David), Actually, I believe avoiding the seasonal gain to begin with (by berming, earth-linking, proper roof design and super-insulation), is far...
On Sep 1, 2005, at 2:17 PM, RefrigeratorAlternatives@yahoogroups.com ... Golden Pothos, and Philodendron. Best results supposedly with a pot containing a...
Finally got my replacement freezer last week - the first had major shipping damamge. It is a Kenmore 6.6 cu.ft. "Access Plus" model (chest freezer with a...
Hello my refrigerated friends - I really need your help figuring something out with my chest refrigerator conversion. Here goes... I installed the auxiliary...
After my last message I kept moving the thermometers around to different parts of the refrigerator and freezer and getting such wacky readings that I was about...
Regarding the thermometers, yes, some can read way off. I have 2 units with remote sensors, and checked the remotes against each other, with less than 1.0...
I replaced the non-calibrated thermometers - (*hint: if purchasing from a store find a model that has lots of stock on hand and check and see if they all read...
Greg- I know next to nothing about refrigeration (that's why I'm here!), but I do have two thoughts. Are you absolutely, 100% sure of the temperatures in the...
Thanks Mike, The units have been running for a couple of days now, so they have had enough time to completely cool down. I haven't had a chance to remove the...
... If you can find a Model number I would suggest going to this site http://www.partselect.com And see if they have a parts list. I have bought from them on...
Greg, Can you send some pictures of your unit? Perhaps a small box fan can be used to change the temperature? As far as Sears goes.... And I love to tell...
... Is there any way to better insulate and/or seal the drawer? I`d think twice about drilling holes, you might hit an evaporator coil. Didn`t you say that the...
You could try moving the thermostat bulb up higher in the upper compartment. Without a fan the cold air will stratify, settling to the bottom where it can....
Thanks for the ideas Doug, Kenneth, Chris and all, I too wondered about putting a thin layer of insulation on a few sides of the upper compartment. My concern...
How is this project going? Did you determine if the problem was that the thermometers were defective, or were they accurate and have you then managed to...
Some progress has been made. Below is the latest info. As soon as I get to test it a bit further and perhaps make a few more modifications I will post many...
Hooray! I have finally gotten the temperature differential between the top and bottom compartments of the Kenmore Access Plus chest freezer to refrigerator...
although it is blasphemy in some alt energy communities, which have an emotional interest in 100% off grid, it is generally not cost efficient to cover 100% of...
Hey folks, Here's an idea I've been kicking around, without the current ability to test it. A small bit of background: I have been learning a lot about cob -...
Hey Greg, What about energy consumption? Have you been able to determine how much wattage this new freezer refrigerator conversion is using? Thanks! Anthony...
First, you should be concerned indeed about the ventilation problem--since there would be a considerable amount of moisture in such a setup. Mud doesn't much...
I will test the energy consumption, but not until I get I get it working the way I want. Any data I could get know would be irrelevant, especially with me...
Hi Doug, I bought my kill-a-watt off Ebay. It wasn't too bad.. I paid about $29 after shipping. Here's one from the same guy, but it has several days still on...
