    Rack Temperature Question

    Well I was just wondering what everyones fluctuation is between temperature in terms of shelves on your rack. Basically right now I can't get the temps where I would "like" them to be. The top shelf is always a lot hotter then the bottom. The bottom one just hits 90ish when the top one hits 95. Thats really the best I can get it for right now. Just want to see how all yours are, and how you combat this issue. Cuz its driving me

    Move the thermostat probe from shelf to shelf till you find the best overall average temps.

    Heat rises so its not uncommon for uppers to get warmer. You could try moving the probe up levels until you find a happy median.

    Re: Rack Temperature Question

    I have had this problem a bit myself....I have wood floors, so my first step was to put some old carpet under my racks to insulate the floor they set on a bit... After that I put in a ceiling fan to help stir the air since heat rises the top is always a bit warmer than the bottom, but this has cut my variance in temp down to about 2-3 degrees

    I have wood floor as well, I'll try the carpet idea.

    I was messing with it today and the way I got it now seems to be a better median now. I guess it just needed sometime to stabilize. It is quite annoying though I will tell you that much.
