What do y'all think of
this. Worth gambling $25.00 on for controlling a chest freezer or refrigerator?

Absolutely. Looks like a Love knock-off. Even the wiring diagram looks the same. I'd do it.

Looks good. Do not know if NTC thermistors are hard to find. I need 1/2" Pipe and SS. Seeing some as I search online. Good find!

The specs show amp limit of 10 amps at 250v. You might check your compressor to make sure it's less.

More so, applied to the relay to control the voltage signal to turn the heating element on/off for the HLT and RIMS. I think 10 amps is enough to do the SSR.
