Yup! Just gently break it and inside you will probably find an identical unit. I used a dremel to cut off some extra plastic but that’s not necessary.Quick question @PahPahCee . I ended up getting a used thermoelectric wine cooler similar to the one you have. For the peltier dehumidifier in the bottom of yours. Did you just take apart and pull the innards from a dehumidifier? Also, where/how do you drain out the water it pulls in your picture?
Perfect. I just noticed the drain hole in the bottom so I think I'm good. Now to find the cheapest thermoelectric dehumidifier on amazon. Have you actually tried to dry and cure yet in on of these fridges yet? Also any thoughts on putting UV or blackout tint on the wine screen? Guess I could just put a bunch of slaps on it.Yup!

you should see a little rubber drain hole in the bottom of your unit. It allows water to drip down into a little collection tray. You will probably need a larger collection tray under the unit. If it doesn’t have a drain hole then you might need to add one.
I actually just made a second fridge. All in all I only spent $130.
I’m splicing my dehumidifer wires. I don’t know if you’re comfortable doing that. If not making sure you get one that has a physical “rocking” on/off switch. You need it to auto restart when the inkbird controller turns it on.Perfect. I just noticed the drain hole in the bottom so I think I'm good.

That fan is the dehumidifier? Where do you drain?
A lot of people struggle drying. To the point that they justify a 1600 dollar drying machine. To each their own.I read the post but not the comments, sorry if this is already covered. Why don't you just setup an inline fan with a carbon filter in the closet you usually use, maybe a little caulking to seal up air leaks. Boom bang boom the house doesn't smell anymore unless you leave the door open.
I use a tent to grow in garage but cant cure in same tent as it grows unless I stop growingI read the post but not the comments, sorry if this is already covered.

Good work dude. On Amazon you can find “silicon baking sheets” of various sizes to throw on top of those wire racks.Can't wait to test this Cannatroll. I could have made it a bit neater but used spaces already in the fridge to feed wires so I do have to drill and caulk.
I have some aluminum foil pans with holes in it used for grilling veggies I was gonna use but may use the silicone sheetsGood work dude. On Amazon you can find “silicon baking sheets” of various sizes to throw on top of those wire racks.
I use a refrigerator at 38 degrees for 4 weeks then bag into terploc bags. It's been a learning curve the payoff is big. Terps are very high due to the fact temps are as low as possible and the fridge dehydrates as a function of cooling. (All fridges do)My next project is to build a dry and cure fridge because I refuse to spend 1700 on a cannatrol even if I had the money. There settings are 68 temp with 54 dew point for dry and then 68 temp with 52 dew point cure. I just need recommendations for what fridge and dehumidifier to use. Humidors come so close to those levels but would like to build something to get more percise levels. Can anyone help point me in right direction?
@PahPahCee @Fatdaddy
Appreciate the info guys
If i understand correctly, you only drill holes for the sensor probe and dehu wires, not for the actual dehu fan right.also pahpahcee if you have the dehu fan inside does it also need a drain pipe?
So does that mean the fan comes on inside and pushes the wet air out the outlet fan built into the fridge?
And if you prefer not to open up a dehu you can just put it straight in and drain daily?
I'm gonna purchase a wine fridge and try but need to understand fully first.
