OK, I've put this project off for at least 18 months . . .I'd like to get this AC wired for a Ranco and a small walk in fridge. I'd just as soon use the high fan speed. I do plan to keep a small fan running continuously in the fridge.But, I'm NON-TECHNICAL! My usual way of doing things is to exhaust all available wrong ways first. So, if you can help, use small words and assume nothing.I've got more photos if needed.Thankshttps://picasaweb.go...m...&feat=email

I'm not electrical trained. There appears to be only two connections on your thermostat which is switching the compressor and fan on and off. If you unplug the two L shape connectors from the thermostat and connect them together the air conditioner will always be on and the Ranco will turn it on and off. To get the fan to run all the time by it's self it would need to be separated from the air conditioner power supply and have it's own power supply . Need a schematic to see if its possible. Post a picture of the wiring schematic if you have one. Or the Brand and model number, might pull up a schematic on line. Also a picture of the wiring coming out of the fan if possible.

KBHALE, thank you for looking.My 'non-electrical' sense agrees. It seemed too easy; which usually means I'm about to find a 'gotcha' out there.As I don't want to use the AC fan for continuous air circulation, I don't have that issue. (GE didn't have a schematic though.)Thanks again!
