Recently following advice on here I installed 2x 60w tubular heaters in our old fridge along with the relevant stat.
My issue is that it doesn't reach the required temp. Both tubes are hot and I had installed both on the floor at the required spacing (as detailed in the blurb that came with them) but it didn't reach temp. I thought that maybe the tubes were overheating each other and shutting down so I moved 1 a foot away but no change.
Any polite suggestions welcome.
The stat is showing the correct temp inside the box but the box doesn't reach 40 C.
