I've used inkbird controllers before to control an outlet that I had something plugged into, but for this project, I wanted to wire the controller directly into my refrigerator and thus removing the old thermostat. I'm running into trouble getting the compressor to kick on however. I'm able to get the lights to come on, so I know the power is there, and when I connected the thermostat back in, the refrigerator worked fine. I checked that the inkbird was working correctly, and it is activating the switch in the correct way. Anyone able to help with this? Attached is two photos.
The t-stat has
-
one pole with two red wires
-
one pole with one yellow wire
-
grounded
One of the two red wires jumps to a "power save switch" that is also connected to a gray wire.
