Wanted: Digital Ranco Temperature Controller or equiv

[Chris Norrick]

My Ranco is throwing up the dreaded E2 error code again. It was isolated to Heating mode on F but now it is doing it in Cooling mode in both F and C modes so there is no getting around it. It is short cycling my freezer right now but it is FULL of beer and I don't want to unplug it.

Anyone have a good (=cheap) source for a replacement? I'd go for a different brand if they have the same thin probe that goes into my carboy thermowell.

I've got an unused analog Johnson Controls that needs wiring (which only takes a couple of minutes) you can borrow to keep the beer cold until you can source the digital.

I can get the Ranco localy for right at $50

[Chris Norrick]

Yes and Yes! John, I'll give you a call in a minute or so. Don, order it please.

[Don]

I'll pick it up and wire it for you (hopefully) tomorrow (boss is out of town).
If I get it done before I go home tomorrow I drop it by.

Many thanks to all who helped save the beer!

The Ranco is running great.

It's all about the BEER!
