Will this work with a plug-in type cooler? My cooler goes into 'stand-by' mode when power is restored, rather that the last setting.

It could be done if you are an electrician, but it is not designed to work with plug coolers.

This replaces a standard wall mounted cooler switch. If you're not doimg that it won't work.

no, I don't think it will work with a plug-in-type cooler, the digital cooler controller has to be connected to the main electrical source, as well as connected directly to the motor and water pump

I have used the cooler for several months and have had no problem whatsoever with the plug.

I purchased it, and it never worked. The company did not honor the warranty, but they thought that the problem was a faulty pump on a new unit. They offered to repair it (a new unit) at a reduced cost. Obviously, I did not send good money after bad. I ended up with an over priced barely adequate fan, not a cooler. Hope this answers your question.

Try it in your auto, if it cools then itis the transformer, if neither cool problem is probably with the cooler. I've replaced the first cooler and on my second I did above and had to replace the transformer. Now all is working.

Verify the fan direction, u can see it by the indicating arows at the side of the coolers, both should have the same direction. Verify if u are using the low noise adapter it slows down the speed of the fan.

Make sure you have power cord connected in the "cool" orientation. The cord connects in one way to cool and another way to warm the inside. Try unplugging the cord where it plugs into cooler and turning cord end over.If I misunderstood please give more detail.

The product should power on immediately upon receiving power. In the worst case, you'll have to turn it on with the included board once, and then it should behave the way you want it. I built this into a case of mine not too long ago and needed this behavior.

Yes it will if you have the proper plug-in from your 12v unit. Mine runs a 18 can capacity cooler 24/7.

I replaced my swamp cooler on/off switch that was on the wall in my home with this. It works great. I do not know if you could even use this switch with a plug-in type portable swamp cooler (I guess that is what you are talking about)

Unfortunately, it comes with a power cord with an oversized plug. The plug takes up 2 slots on my power strip. Also, it is unfortunate that turning the cooler on/off is manual. There is a small switch on the front side of the cooler. If your receiver has a power supply that turns off/on with the receiver power, this would be ideal. Since my receiver does not have this ability, I just leave the cooler on low 100% of the time. The cooler is essentially 2 PC cooler fans. Another downer is the noise when using the cooler on high... you can hear it buzzing. I found that if I just leave mine on low, it works very well and does not make any noise.

i cannot answer. but do not purchase. much like the others on here, the cooler stopped working after one year. i can't find a manual anywhere online, nor did it come with one, to see if this is something that can be fixed.

Can't answer that one for sure. You may want to check with the manufacturer. It would work when using the cooling unit at 15 amp and under.

I just bought this case as well to a 230v country. I made sure it's switched to the 230v side before doing anything. The fan on the power supply would start, then stop after a few seconds, then start again etc. Same for the CPU fan that is connected. Is it possible all these power supplies are lemons for 230v?

I think so. Mine worked for my cooler just fine. Mine has it to where you can line up the red squares and have heat or line up the blue squares to have warmth. If yours has that, this is what you need.

I have an Antec 1000 power supply. There is a plug that comes from the cooling head and is pluged into the cpu fan slot. It works like a dream.

Finding an adapter for this hasn't been an easy for me at all. I tried some of the standard ones you find and they're all "switched" or SMPS which is resulting in the fan running for a second, then shutting down for a second, and so on and so on. Now on a wild goose chase for a "linear" or "unregulated" power supply to see if that will solve the issue but overall it's really been a headache. Just find something else unless you really know a thing or two about electronics.

It is possible that when in backup mode it gets noisy but in normal standby mode with the line voltage such that it is not operating from battery, the fan is not running at all. I never noticed any noise.
