What is the effect over the compressor operation temperature? Does the possible higher temperature reduce to compressor's life?"

I don't believe it affects the compressor' operational temperature. Soon after we installed the Brinmar I talked to a person who repairs air conditioners. He told me that a lot of new central air units are being sold now with these. We love ours and haven't notice any problems since installing it.

It was my concern too. However, some source said the internal temperature of the compressor increases only one or two degree after having put on the blanket. I would think that one or two degree increase does not make any difference to the compressor's life. If not so, I'd like to know the answer too.

I bought the machine because it is absolutely quiet. The hot is in fact hot and the cold is cold. Most coolers make too much noise when the compressor cycles off and on. Does not happen with this unit.

It's a conventional compressor unit, so it can get down to the mid 40s if that's what you want. I keep mine at 55 for reds.

I am not a mechanic -- but -- since the max time you are supposed to use the compressor is 10 minutes with a 25 minute cool down in between uses - I don't think you will run down your battery

yeah. that is how it works. the fan stays on while the compressor un-freezes. Sorry to hear you bought one of those. They are pretty lousy and low quality. Mine died after very little use just after the warranty ran out.

I would leave it alone. It protects the motor. When the AC goes off, the compressor is still under pressure and if you were to flip it back on, the motor might not be able to start up against the pressure. You could burn out the motor.

The operating temperature for that unit is 34-114 degrees. Anything more or less will affect the performance of the unit.

Worked great on ours, we are waiting now for the factory parts to arrive.fridge is in the garage running fine for a week, temp is 30 in fridge and 0 in freezer. Web pros say it's not good to leave it on due to stress on compressor.

I would say no...The unit gets pretty warm after each batch and seems to take longer to make each succeeding batch (I have made three in a row)...Would not want to do a fourth as I think it would start harming the compressor...

In addition to the other suggestions, stand the unit upright in a climate controlled environment (72F+) for about an hour. This will address cold weather and over priming/choke related issues.

Yes, this is normal for the unit. It is just running as the compressor runs.

the compressor runs based on what the temperature from the unit is set to. My fridge is in the garage so it has to run more with the heat in there. When it is cold it barely runs since I keep the temperature at about 68 degrees. So the length of time it runs is enough to keep the temperature you have it set to. many factors may vary; quality of fridge and where the fridge will be located. hope it helps. God Bless!

Once it sets up right for the 1st time as long as it is upright your good to go, it is the oil that the compressor has in it that well move in to the coils that cool and discharge heat from it, if you turn it on it's side like anything else , it well need time for the oil to drain back down.

I purchased a unit in 2010 and it unfortunately only lasted two summers. Luckily, the compressor was still under warranty in my unit, so Frigidaire replaced it.

I think that all the answers cover the purpose in brief. Simply, if the external temperature in the garage or storage area drops below the setpoint that would normally turn on the fridge compressor, the fridge will not start and the temperature in the freezer portion can rise to the temperature of the external temperature, i.e., above the freezing point, and well above the recommended storage temperature of the freezer. The device is a little heater coil that imposes an artificially warmer temperature on the refrig temperature controller that "fools" it into thinking that it must turn on to preserve the cooling in both sections of the fridge

I wouldn't recommend it. You'll hole the heat into the compressor and that wouldn't be healthy for the compressor. It needs to breath.

Looked at the paperwork that came with the unit, but it didn't say anything about operating temperature. The extinguisher is very high quality but I can't help with an answer to your question. I'm very happy with mine.
