Title: Time to get cold?
Post by: Kaleid20 on June 29, 2012, 08:50:03 pm
Hey fellas,

What is the normal amount of time for a cooler to cool down? I've got a WH-5T (same as a WD-5), original compressor. It fires up no problem, and with the thermostat turned down all the way it takes about 25-30 min to get down to around 34 degrees. It sits on a covered patio, and it was around 85 degrees. Does that amount of time sound right?

Also, with the thermostat all the way down, shouldnt it get lower then 34 degrees?

ummm...yes.

and.....no. if it's "cycling" at 34....that's the preset range.

hope that helps!  :upside:
