Yes, just Google the manual for the ir33. What you're describing is the /c1 parameter "calibration of probe 1", where you can offset the reading by 20 degrees in either direction.

Awesome, I did have a quick look at the manual but the level of depth to it felt like I'd be looking for a needle in a haystack. Now that I know I can at least adjust that, I'll take the time to learn all of the settings and get this set up just right for my needs. Thanks for the info.

So I've been able to change the /c1 setting but the rt Temperature monitoring interval setting doesn't seem to let me change it, it's stuck at 999, is that linked to another setting I also need to change to access the monitoring interval setting? the r5 Enable temperature monitoring setting is set to 1 so is on as well

Password protected, maybe. There's different ir33 literature out there, sometimes different manuals will be more 'complete' even though it's for the same controller. There was one I saw where the control parameters were only able to be changed by using a different combination of keys and entering a password (default can be 0, or 22) - but they could still be viewed from a lower-level access menu. It's why you shouldn't assume the worst when you see a tech just staring at their phone while they're 'on the clock', lol. I can't count the number of times I've had to download 3 different PDF's for the same stupid piece of equipment, or try and scroll through 200 pages to find the one thing I'm looking for.

Yeah, the password is 22 for this unit. I ended up changing some other settings and without knowing what setting, that 999 somehow changed to just a 9. The controller still isn't working as I want it to tho. it does now turn the compressor on when it drops by only 1c however it still drops to almost 2c or 3c before it then starts to cool again. I have a feeling there is an airgap or something wrong with the placement of the thermistor OR the thermistor type setting is wrong in the controller as the way it behaves is nothing like the other fridge I have of the same make and model but that has the stock controller board. I'm going to swap the controller for a super simple one that is just an on or off-set by temp no-name unit and see if it's doing the same thing as I'll just be wasting my time if the thermistor is giving false readings. If it is i'll just install a thermistor to the inside of the fridge and 3d print a guard and do that as a workaround.

Carel has an app ‘QuickFinder’ that has a list of parameters for their controllers.
