I hear you... but... Fact that t-switch may not be calibrated to spec based on position of probe is not a problem from my perspective. What is sought here is for t-switch to modulate compressor with increasing ON duration the further CW the switch is turned. If it does this to some acceptable degree... I would consider switch functional.

We could extrapolate difference t-switch probe function by considering temp difference in evap from the core (where I have probe) to outside edge near inlet where "stock" probe position is. Am going to guess that temp difference over those few inches is not so great that switch is going to work drastically different. Perhaps I'm wrong. Once 26 oz is reloaded and switch is checked, IF there's cause... probe can be moved.

For added detail here Will, with probe positioned in evap's core, is compressor likely to cut OFF sooner or later as compared to probe near inlet?
