Why is my Foster Controller temperature too cold?
- V
  Victor CrossAug 23, 2025
  If your Foster Controller's temperature is too cold, it could be due to these reasons: * The controller is set at a very cold position. Set it to a warmer position and check if the compressor stops according to the controller's operating range. * The controller does not disconnect the condensing unit. Check the insulation of the thermostat; if the problem persists, change the thermostat. * Control contacts are stuck closed. Change the control and check the amperage load. * The temperature control is defective or incorrect. Determine the correct control and replace it.

What causes noise in my Foster FD2-10 Controller?
- S
  Stephanie SimmonsAug 26, 2025
  Noise in your Foster Controller can be caused by several factors: * The refrigerator is not properly leveled. Check if the noise goes away after you level the refrigerator. * The condenser is not fastened correctly, or copper tubing is in contact with metal. While the compressor is working, check if metal parts are in contact and if the condenser screws are tightened. * The evaporator and/or condenser fans are loose. Check if the fans are securely fastened, and if the fan blades are loose, broken, or crooked. If so, change the faulty blade. * The compressor has an internal noise. If the noise persists after all other measures, it may be originating from the compressor. * Loose part(s). Locate and tighten loose part(s).

What causes extreme condensation inside my Foster Controller refrigerator?
- M
  Mark MorganAug 28, 2025
  Extreme condensation inside your Foster Controller refrigerator can be attributed to: * The controller being set at a very cold position. Set the controller to a warmer position and check to see if the compressor stops as it should. * High relative humidity (over 75%) in the outside environment. This is due to local climatic conditions and not the refrigeration unit itself. * The refrigerator door not shutting completely. Check the door and/or the magnetic gasket. Adjust the door hinges if needed; replace the gasket if broken. * The refrigerator being placed in an inadequate location. The unit must not be near sources that produce too much heat.
