i have a tgm-14r and it only cools to around 50 degrees; could the thermostat be bad, is there a test to see?
i have a tgm-14r and it only cools to around 50 degrees; could the thermostat be bad, is there a test to see? Ive had the cooler for about 8-9 years and till now has been fine. I did notice when I turn the thermostat dial it feels like it free spins.

The thermostat’s function is to turn the compressor on or off – as required to maintain set temperature within the box. On your unit, the compressor and a fan are located underneath the box and behind that grill under the door. The fan there only runs when the compressor is turned on by the thermostat. So…that might be a clue as to whether the thermostat is faulty. So…

If your box is at 50°, but nothing is running down there behind that grill, then it very well could be a faulty thermostat. If your box is at 50° and everything down there appears to be running continuously, then there may be other far more significant issues.Â
Either way, I suggest calling a service company.
