Don't forget Temperature Sensors for your Fridge! - eviltoast

Learned my lesson after a trip last week… I have sensors for nearly everything, but somehow totally forgot about the Fridge / Freezer.

A power outage made my fridge lose it’s mind and turn off cooling, even after it powered back up. Unplug / replug seems to have fixed it, but all the food was spoiled when we got home. Simple $10 temperature sensor could have saved everything!

    I’ve also never had a Fridge do this (even this one that had gone through multiple power outages).

    This one does have a function to toggle off cooling on the front controls, why you’d ever want to do that, not sure… My assumption is something happened during power outage to affect the “brains” of the Fridge, but no idea really.
