## Overview

The AcuRite Digital Wireless Fridge and Freezer Thermometer features two wireless sensors that transmit precise temperature readings to a large LCD display.

## 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: Excellent, easy to use, and accurate. - Something everyone should have. Accurate and excellent functions. It gives max/min temps daily. Should any problem occur with fan or compressors you might not know as shut down could occur at night. By morning after compressor cools it is working again. I should have had one years ago.
Review: Works perfectly on our standup freezer - tl;dr version: This works fantastic for monitoring a standalone freezer in the basement. Full story: We have a standup refrigerator-sized freezer in our basement (mainly because that was the only place in the house we had room for it). We've managed to leave the door cracked open a total of 3 times now in about 10 years, due to simple negligence, and have lost hundreds of dollars in spoiled frozen foods as a result. There's no reason this needs to ever happen, so after the last time a month or so ago, one part of my fix was that I wanted something to sound an alarm if the temperature rises too much. Enter this simple wireless temperature sensor. Since the use case here is for a single-chamber freezer, and our fridge is well out of range 1 1/2 floors above on the other side of the house, I opted to just put both sensors inside the freezer. One is on the top shelf of the door, theoretically the highest temperature inside the freezer and the first location to start thawing if the door were left open. The other is buried deep on the bottom shelf near the back, which is theoretically the coldest area of the freezer. This way I get an idea of the effective range of temperatures throughout the freezer at any point in time. In case anyone's curious, there seems to be a fairly consistent 15F degree difference between the two sensor locations, plus or minus a few degrees. Installing the batteries and connecting the sensors to the display unit was quick and effortless. I didn't have any lithium batteries on hand, so despite the freezer being below the optimal range for alkalines, I went with what I had and gave it a shot, knowing I could just go pick up some lithiums the next day if it didn't work. So far the sensors haven't had any battery issues despite the subzero temperatures. Placing the sensors inside the freezer was also easy, although I couldn't make use of either the suction cups due to the low temperature or the wire shelf straps due to the shelves being thoroughly encased in frost and ice. That said, having them just sit on the shelves seems to work fine. The display unit is magnetically stuck to the front of the door and has had zero issue so far with the signal from the sensors punching through the metal frame. Both sensors show a very strong signal indicator. I have not had an opportunity yet to test the alarm feature. I did reprogram the "refrigerator" sensor's alarm range to freezer settings and turned on the alarm for both. As pointed out in the manual, while one sensor is labeled as fridge and one as freezer, they're otherwise identical and you can adjust the alarm range for each one independently. You're also not limited to just cold temperatures - the nominal max is 158F/70C although the display only goes up to 99.9 in Fahrenheit mode - so you could easily monitor something other than a fridge and/or freezer with this if you wanted to. Anyway, one of these days I should probably take one sensor out of the freezer for a while and let it warm up just to confirm that the alarm is audible from another room. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase, especially considering the reasonable price.

## 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.
