Technology Connections talks about a red fridge from Walmart for an hour (youtu.be)

In a video by @Techconnectify@mas.to, Alec goes into a deep dive into the simplicity of his particular model, its shortcomings and variety of data logging tests in an attempt to fix them.

TL,DW: Very simple, cheap and ingenious design, with one compressor loop between the fridge and freezer in series. However, its temperature sensor is wonky and so the fridge is more affected by how long the compressor operates than the actual temperature itself. There is a signficant temperature differential between the top and bottom, fans on the exterior or interior could help but with the faulty sensor only made matters worse. With the controller replaced with a proper temp control unit the fridge functioned much better.

I started watching his channel back when he did the turn signal video a few years ago. I was skeptical at first because I had seen his videos pop up in my recommended a few times and wasn't interested in them, but after giving it a chance I love his content and watch most of his videos all the way through.

The only videos I haven't watched in their entirety are the ones on subjects I'm already pretty familiar with. It's hard to sit through 40 minutes of information you already know, but they're excellent for learning about new topics.

For me it was "but sometimes!"

I love this channel! There’s just something about going very in-depth on random appliances and things like that that’s just so entertaining to me lol

I actually watched the majority of this one (with, a bit of skipping.)

Was quite interesting. There is another channel I watch, which literally is in the process of building a three-stage cryogenic cooler. Pretty neat stuff.
