Why does my freezer keep dropping in temperature after the compressor turns off? AskEngineers


I just converted my chest freezer into a refrigerator (kegerator/keezer) so I can keep homebrew on tap. I replaced the freezers thermostat with an STC1000 temperature regulator. Everything works great. When I set the temp controller at 2.2C (37F) the compressor will turn on if the temp rises above 2.2C and will turn off if the temp drops below 2.2C. Once the compressor goes on (2.3C) it will turn off (2.1C) the second it hits 2.1C. However, the temp continues to drop. It gets down to 0.6C before the temp . starts rising again. Why is this? Is there a way I can get around this other than installing a heating unit into the freezer? Thanks.
