Johnson Controls A19AAT-2C Freezer Temperature Controller (D132)
Use this handy controller to regulate the temperature in your freezer between 20 – 80F . Great for turning a chest freezer into a keg refrigerator. Strictly a mechanical thermostat for cooling only, it is simple to use and economical. It operates with a gas filled probe on a 6-foot capillary tube. When the gas contracts or expands in the probe, it triggers a mechanical device inside the control which turns the power on or off. There is no probe temperature readout on the dial, so keeping a thermometer inside the refrigerator is highly recommended to keep track of the actual temperature. On most refrigerators, the controller will allow a usable range of 37 to 80 F, while on freezers, the controller will be able to reach its full 20 to 80 F range. Features: Made of stainless steel. Adjustable with the turn of a knob. No drilling necessary. Plug unit into wall and then run the sensor into your freezer. Male and female plug in one. Specs: Temperature dimensions: 4 3/8″ H x 2 1/8″ W x 1 1/2″ D. Cord dimensions: 6′. Remote sensor bulb: 5 1/2″W. Remote sensor bulb capillary tube: 6′. Temperature range: 20 – 80F. Voltage: 120 VAC.

Did Exactly What I Bought it For. I bought 2 of these to turn some Frigidaire (FGCH25M8LW) chest freezers into refrigerators. It looked simple enough and I could not find any real evidence to suggest that this thermostat shutting off the power to the compressor was going to harm the life span of the freezer.The one thing that I didn’t do correctly (that in hindsight was fairly obvious) was that initially I left the gas filled sensor inside the freezer and ran the remaining 6 feet of copper tubing outside the freezer…
Freaking awesome, I can use my chest freezer year round …
