I am on my 2nd ARB 50 this week. The first would not get anywhere near cooling, so had to set it 20 degrees lower. I returned it.
The current ARB 50 qt I have set at 31F, and my home thermometer confirms it is close, but the digital ARB readout says 24, yet there is wet condensation on the sides inside the container indicating that it is not freezing inside. I have wads of plastic bags filling about half the void. The first cooler I had filled with real food for a long weekend.
I have tried other temp setting also with no luck.
My concern is does the thermometer work? I need to be able to set and monitor the inside temps so I don't freeze my produce or spoil foods if it is too warm inside.
What is the issue with my ARB? Is there something I need to know?
Strange I have two units defective, so I'm looking for answers other than defects.
thanks
