## Description

This dual-purpose freezer and fridge thermometer monitors internal “room” temperature of the inside of your fridge or freezer and sends it a wireless remote temperature sensor gauge! Two wireless, remote thermometer sensors communicate to the door- or wall-mounted digital display gauge, which provides alerts when freezer or refrigerator temperatures are out of your customized, preferred range. This perfect-for-a-restaurant thermometer helps you store foods at safe temperatures to prevent food spoilage and avoid related foodborne illnesses. The wireless thermometers provide data to the digital thermometer display to show refrigerator and freezer temperatures and record highs and lows for each environment, as recorded by each remote temperature sensor. The programmable alarm notifies you audibly and visually when temperatures rise above or fall below your set minimum or maximum. The digital thermometer display has an integrated magnet and keyhole for easy mounting, and it requires 2 AAA batteries (not included). Each remote temperature sensor requires 2 AA alkaline or lithium batteries (not included). Lithium batteries are recommended for use in sensors for temperatures below 4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celsius). By using this combination of temperature gauge and freezer monitor, you will rest assured that your family or restaurant’s food is stored safely and appropriately. A perfect gift idea for Father’s Day, Christmas, or birthdays, this digital refrigerator and freezer thermometer comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Review: love, love, love it. - I've only used it for a month now but it is a relief knowing my freezers are working in the basement. I look at it every day and I can breath easy. Mine are in 2 different freezers and works excellent. Easy to install, no programing, install battery's and it working. It has good signal range. I love the warning buzzer if one of the freezers isn't working.
Review: Critical freezer alarm system that works! - We have three chest freezers, two of which are out of sight in the basement and full of veggies from the garden, venison from the property and meat from our nephew's farm. The concern has been losing either one, or both if the GFCI trips, and their contents. One freezer is about a year old and the other just a couple months. I saw this system recommended on a FB group and the desertcart reviews seem favorable. So I decided to give it a try, especially since it has a WiFi connection, so the information display can be in the house, and an alarm. We can check the freezers' status at any time and the alarm will warn if we have a pending disaster. It arrived well-packaged. The box exterior is plain cardboard with a plain label just at one end. No fancy marketing! I ordered four AA Lithium batteries at the same time for the sender units, which are recommended by the manufacturer for use in freezers. After installing standard 'Copper Top' batteries in the display first, then the lithiums in the sender units, the temperatures of each sender unit appeared on the display immediately. They were the same at about 72F. To me, the instructions were clear, though it probably does help to be mechanically-inclined! I set the alarms for min and max temps and took the sender units down to the freezers. I hung them on the baskets with tie wraps as the included suction cups wouldn't have stuck on the dimpled freezer walls. The desertcart photo showing the silicone loop wrapped around itself is not very practical as the loop is small compared with the size of the sender unit and you'd have to really stretch it. Too much effort in the depths of a full freezer! When I returned to the main floor, the alarm was sounding. The displayed temperatures were slowly going down as the sender units adjusted to the freezer internal temperatures, but were higher than my max temperature settings. I pressed the "Bell" button to put the alarm to sleep. The display seems to update every few seconds, not instantaneously. After a few minutes, the displayed temps reached the freezer internal temperatures, which were just below 0 deg F. Each reading was slightly different due to being in different freezers of different makes and settings and the temps vary anyway within a few degrees as the freezer compressor cycles. 0 deg F is what is expected though for a chest freezer. I have my alarm settings at -20F and 15F for both freezers. The alarm won't go off for a few minutes if it reaches those temps. This avoids alarms when the freezer lid is opened to put in or take out food. The signal display was indicating max. strength with the display unit maybe 20 ft (straight line) away from the freezers on the floor above. Moving at least double that into the kitchen, where the signal has to pass through a thick natural stone wall in the basement, as well as the floor structure and around various steel/wood heating ducts in the floor, the strength was still high. I was impressed, considering the sender units are also inside a cold, metal box! The two small magnets on the back upper corners of the display unit, aren't quite strong enough to hold it firmly onto the refrigerator door. It slides down as the door is shut and there's a risk of it falling off and being damaged. I have it sitting on the dining room dresser, where it's out of the way, but visible. It could also be hung on a nail on the wall. While a little pricey compared with other similar units (with more 1 Star reviews!), $35 is a small price to pay to avoid spoiling all the valuable food that is in the freezers! So far the system is performing well and to design. I will update should anything go wrong! UPDATE: Several months in and the system is working just fine. After the first week or so, I noticed one of my freezers was 10 degrees or more colder than the other and unnecessarily so. I adjusted it and now I have comparable temps, though the later-purchased freezer has a wider range of temperature fluctuation , due to a less precise control system. Very pleased!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used 2 of these units (4 sensors) with refrigerator/freezer combos that are less than 30 ft apart?  Do they operate on different freq?**
A: The correct reply is Yes,  the display and the Sensor are "paired" like Blue Tooth devices.  BUT,  now for the bad news.  Each time you replace the battery in ANY part of the system you need to perform the operation of "pairing" over again!!!Steps:1)  Take all three parts,  Display and both sensors and go away from the "other" sensors.2)  Put fresh a battery in the Display and watch for NO Updates, takes a few moments to verify.3)  Put a battery in each the sensors and watch for the "First" update to be correct.4) Leave these  batteries in and walk back to the location needed.Now the new set will have a unique code and not read the "other" sensors values.The code is 32,000 values so yoiu can have MANY of these in the same place.NOTE:  if you want a "copy" to be seen by Two Displays just PAIR both at the same place and time.  They "Learn" from the first data point.

**Q: What kind of recording capabilities does it have? I need to know how warm freezer became to avoid refreezing, when I am elsewhere.**
A: it just lets you set an alarm to what ever temp you want to know I don't see a recording of it if I come by  later. the best thing on the freezer is a glass of ice cubes in the freezer, it they ever turn to a block your freezer went hot for too long. that's the best and cheapest way I know.

**Q: When fridge/freezer goes out of temp setting does alarm keep sounding until acknowledged ?**
A: When the alarm goes off, it gets annoying after awhile, so we have pressed the alarm button within 5 minutes to turn it off.  I'm pretty sure it will sound until the temperature has returned within the set range or is turned off.  Just be sure to press the alarm button again when the temperature is within the range you set, to reactivate the alarm mode.

**Q: What is the wireless range on this item?**
A: I have mine set about 40 and 50 ft from receiver, both of which are transmitting through one exterior wall and 1 or 2 interior framed walls, with the receiver near mid point, and no problems after a couple of months.  As others stated, the update is not immediate, so give it a while for the initial reading.  Also, if you move the sensors, I found it helpful to take the batteries out of everything and start again - only takes a couple of minutes and gives some peace of mind.  I think without heavily insulated walls, the range is probably more but have no proof.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mostly good, but useless freezer alarms due to defrost cycle
*by D***N on November 16, 2024*

I bought two of these because I wanted to monitor three areas: 1) the fridge compartment of my refrigerator, 2) the freezer compartment of my refrigerator, and 3) a deep freeze located in my kitchen about 15 feet from the fridge. I bought the first thermometer about 18 months ago and added the second unit a month ago. Here's what worked well: - The temps are accurate enough based on comparing with a couple of analog thermometers I have, with only a degree or two difference here and there. - The alerts are simple to set. - The alarms are loud enough. I can barely hear them upstairs in my bedroom, but I can hear them. If I'm awake, I can hear them anywhere in my house. Here's what did not work well: - There is a conflict between the two base stations and the four remote units. I've deployed both freezer remotes plus a single fridge remote. The freezer remotes each paired with their respective base stations, but the fridge remote paired with both. Not a bit deal to me--the fridge remote on my deep freezer base station is just a duplicate of the fridge remote. But if you have two fridges with freezers, you might wind up running into issues keeping the devices separate. The biggest issue I have is the alarm setting for my fridge's freezer. My freezer has a defrost cycle that heats up the freezer compartment to around 16 degrees for a very short time before rapidly cooling back to -10 degrees or so. My understanding is that this behavior is normal, and the food stored in my freezer will not be affected due it it's being frozen solid and the short duration above 0 degrees. But this of course means that I can't set my freezer remote alarm to the 0 degrees the FDA recommends as a minimum freezer temperature. The best that I can do to take advantage of the freezer alarm is to set it for 16-ish degrees in case my freezer completely fails. Overall, I'm happy with these thermometers. They have worked reliably so far. In fact, this alarm notified me last month that my freezer was too warm. Turned out the defrost wasn't working and the coils were iced up. I don't see any way around the daily temperature spike due to my freezer's defrost cycle, so I can't blame this device for not being able to tell if operation is normal or not. Actually, what would be great would be a freezer whose thermostat is tied in to the defrost process so it would know what acceptable temps are during normal operation and during defrost cycle. It could then send appropriate alarms.
