I just plugged mine in this afternoon, it seems to stay at 57-58 degrees even though I've set it at 55? Is this normal?

it sounds like the temperature control in your fridge is stuck at 58 deg. my fridge temp adjusts to what I set to.

yes, give it time. the 2 degrees can be up or down. if not opened often mine is or can be 2 degrees cooler.

I have had the same unit for almost a month and there is usually a 2 degree difference. Set at 53 and maintains 55 degrees.

I keep my house at 55F in the winter. No chirping. That said, battery voltages dip as a result of cold (although 50F isnt really that cold). Perhaps its just an old battery thats on the edge and the cold pushes it over?

Mine is hot too since I started to use it. I have to unplug it when I don't use it.

It is normal, it's just telling you its receiving power. Mine does it too and nothing has gone wrong.

Mine gets warm not hot. I guess it depends on how long you leave things pluged in. I have not had the problems you are experienceing.

I have noticed that occasionally. I'm not sure about the cause; it may be because the desired temperature has reached the actual temperature for an extended period of time. You can easily reset it by either turning it back on or pulling the plug out of the wall socket and putting it back in.

I have the model with the additional display module. I does get a bit warm. I called PI and discussed this with a tech. He had me measure the OHM rating of the actuator which employs a copper coil and is basically an electromagnet that is in the solenoid the allows power to pass thru the unit. He indicated the some heat is OK.

Haven't got a clue Todd, never happened to me. Mine has worked flawlessly other that I have to set the temperature to about 72 to get my desired room temperature of 68 degrees.

I have mine connected to turn on below 35 degrees, and it works well for me.

Make sure the fan is not blocked and the food you put in it should be chilled first in the fridge. I plug in mine overnight for use the next day. So far so good.

Mine has been fine. Had it a year and a half almost always plugged in and still lasts several hours whenever I unplug it. Ran it about 5 hours unplugged the other day and it was still going strong before I had to turn it off for the evening.

I have had mine for over a year and it has worked perfectly. I live in Texas so very few really cold days but I have no complaint. I agree with the twisting in the plug thing, I have to make sure I connect well but there is a light indicator.

Its been my experience that leaveing it plugged in after dark the charge likes to feed back through the carge controler and heat up why i dont know but it does i would reccomend unplugging it as soon as it gets daark just to be safe..it does get kinda hot!

I have one plugged in all the time, and I just checked and it was cool to the touch. Hope this helps?

The inside cooler temperature is directly related to the exterior temperature. There is no adjustment. Everything will always be below room temperature, given the cooler is plugged in.
