I just have a question on a Ranco ETC 111000. I finished wiring it, and it seems to work since it can detect the room temperature. However, the extension chord i used is a 16 gauge 13 amps chord, and the chest freezer instructions say that if i want to use an extension chord, it has to be 15 amps.
Do any of you all see an issue in the future if i connect this? If so, is there a solution other than just rewiring it with a 15 amp extension chord?
Also, when using one of these temperature controllers, at what temperature setting should i set my freezer at (1-7)?
I did a real clean job and would rather not have to wire it again and waste $15, but if the life of my freezer depends on it, then by all means i'll do it.
