 Hey everyone, 1000 here. Today, refrigerator. It's 12 volt. It was her dad's, it was up in the attic. We don't know if he had it in a boat or camper, but it's a 12 volt system. So I got this to plug into it. I've got my multimeter with the temperature reading, it's temperature sending unit on it, so we're gonna check it out. And we're gonna see if this thing works. So stick around and join me in the fun. Here's that refrigerator. I'll open it up. Okay, it's got a tray here. It's a drip tray and it's got a little, supposed to have a little tube on it. Now I do have some rubber hose. I can make work if this thing works, but see, so there's a hole there. So what we're gonna do is we're just gonna put a piece of tape over that or stuff a rag in it, just to test it to see if it works. And if it does, then we'll fix it like it's supposed to be. But I'll show you how these work. There's a fan up in here on this. It's called a heat sink. Okay, now to explain to you guys what a heat sink does, how these work, this is a heat sink. How these work is they don't actually cool this little ice box refrigerator, whatever you wanna call it cooler. It doesn't actually cool it down but what it does is take the heat that's inside out. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna plug this into here, into here, and then I can plug this into my extension cord. And we're gonna check and see if the fan's running. Okay, so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put you on the stand. Go ahead and open this up. Fairly decent shape, so hopefully it does work. I don't know if that goes there or up here. It kind of fits tight up there. So I'm guessing it goes down here and that's probably supposed to have a rack in it. You'll see this thing's kind of long, so you'll see it doesn't look like it would catch much there but there we go. We'll just put it like that. Now I'm gonna put you on the stand and we're gonna watch this fan when I plug it in. Okay, so now we're gonna go ahead. We're gonna plug, I'll raise you up a little bit there. We're gonna plug this cord from the refrigerator into that and then we're gonna plug this into here. Maybe this, no, I hear something that doesn't, doesn't seem like it's running. There may be a fuse up in here. There is a fuse here, I believe, maybe not. Okay, so what I'm gonna have to do is I'm gonna have to check this out and see if it's getting power out of here. That's me turning it from the back, okay. I don't see a green light on here and I should. So I think this is working. It is a little rusty but I know it worked on the, I got a cooler outside. I know it worked on that cooler. That light should be lit up. So I'm gonna take this apart, see if there's a fuse in here or something and then we'll go from there. Okay guys, so I tested this. It's supposed to be 12 volt output. It's a Coleman but it's only putting out 10 volts. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna touch this onto my battery. This is the ground, the negative and this is the positive. I'm gonna touch it on my battery and run this across to the negative and we'll see if that's turning. And if it turns, then we'll go ahead and do something a little more permanent. So let's see, keep an eye on that fan. Let's see what happens. It's working. So that thing's quiet too. I'll have to shut this fan off here in a minute. So let me go ahead and make something more permanent on this, on this end. So we can put on the battery because I still can't find my actual one I use. So anyway, let's find something more permanent. We'll plug this in and then we'll run this down inside here. We'll run it down the bottom. We'll cover that hole in the back. Then we're gonna let it run awhile and see what the temperature gets down to. In fact, what I'll do is I'll just run this in through the hole down there at the back and then put some, put a rag around it or something. So let me get, let me get this hooked up. Then we're gonna go from there. Okay guys, I found my little deal. So we're gonna plug this in and I'm gonna hook it up the battery. Let's see if that fan runs. Yep. All right, cool. So let me shut this real fan off and I mean, you hear the actual refrigerator behind us around probably. Okay. So now I'm gonna go ahead and stick this down in that hole and put a rag around it. We'll take an initial reading. So I'm gonna go ahead and shut it off now and we'll see what it is inside there. And then we'll give it an hour or so and then we'll check it again and see if it's cooling down. Okay, so this is what I've done. We've got our temperature here. This is in Fahrenheit guys. So as you can see, and I've got it cracked. It's 86.8 degrees in there. Let's go ahead and close it. And I got this shoved into this hole and I've just got a rag here. So it's not gonna be real efficient, but now I'm gonna give it, I'm gonna give it a couple minutes, maybe 10, 15 minutes to, for that to settle its temperature and then we'll kick it on and then we'll take a reading after about say an hour or so. So hang tight and we'll let it do its thing. Okay guys, this is what we got. It's been about 15 minutes. It's teetering between 88 and 89 and staying right in that area. So that's what we're looking at. So now we're gonna go ahead. We're gonna plug this in. I've seen the little spark, the lights on. I don't wanna open it up because it'll mess with our reading. The fan is running. All right, so I'm gonna come back in an hour. I'm gonna go take that evap solenoid off my niece's truck. She'll be out here shortly. That way it'll already be off. And by the time we get that taken care of, we'll see what this is gonna be down to. So sit tight and we'll be right back. Okay guys, it's been about an hour. It's jumping between 61 and 62. Sometimes it gets down to 60 but it's still hot out here and it's hot in this garage. It was, the temperature was climbing and I was like, what the hell? It was over 100 degrees. I had that plugged in wrong. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna leave this all night long and see how well it does. And I'll keep coming out about every hour. If I don't forget, about every hour and we're gonna see what it gets down to. So stay tuned. Let's see what happens here. Okay guys, I'll tell you what. It's been 24 hours. Let's take a look at this. It's only got down to 71 degrees. Now I've got to looking at this thing. I don't think it's supposed to have that heat sink in it. I think it just was to have lights because see, this looks like they marked it. Like they was gonna put the heat sink there. Like they were gonna put this on top and they decided to put it back down. I think this is supposed to happen. Because when I got to looking at that, I was like, man, see, there's our proof. This goes up here. I'm guessing it would have went right here maybe. Anyway, that'll fit there just fine. So I'm thinking this was for ice. You just put ice in here. I don't get me wrong. I mean, you can feel some cold air there. It's still running. I mean, that's cold. It's just not gonna be cold enough. I mean, I imagine if you had it in a camper or possibly she thought she might have had it for, she thought he might have had it for his boat. If you left it plugged in, you know, for a week, I'm sure it would cool down. But once you start opening this thing up, now that cooler, we got a cooler out there. It works the same way. It's got a little heat sink in it. Now I left a pop in there a weekend, one weekend. I used to Saturday and Monday, that pop was starting to freeze. And it's just got something like that in it. So maybe if you put two in, but I wouldn't do that. I would say, you know, I mean, it's just, I would say this was you put ice in here. And that's what the drain was for. That's what I would say. Let's see what it went down to, just having it open that long. Cause I thought we could use it for kids. See, it jumped up almost 10 degrees. You might as well say 10 degrees, nine degrees, whatever. And just that little bit of tar and it'll take forever for that to cool down. So, you know, we had a colder, but it's just, it's not made for that. Yeah, I'm guessing it just, that's what somebody's done, put it in there. But like I said, I thought, well, we use it for camping. And I don't think so. Cause I think if we do an abusing, I'll just use it like a cooler. I'll just put ice in it, you know, set it off back, you know, like if we're camping or whatever, out back in the backyard, that'd be alright. But I'm not going to lug it around. If I, if I still got to put ice in it, hell I got that cooler out back there, out front there that works really well. It keeps things really cold. And then I've got that big thing up there, which I thought about making them. And one of those air conditioners you see everybody doing out of that thing. So we've, we've got coolers if we, you know. So there you go guys. That's the deal on that thing. So, didn't work out that great. It's got 70 degrees is not that cold to be, you know, if you take a drink of beer or soda or anything that's 70 degrees, it's not that cold. Especially if it's a beer, I like my beer around 34 to 36 degrees, you know, right before it freezes. Alright guys, we'll see you soon. Have a great week. Shaber, I'm going for now. Bye bye guys. Take care.
