Ow can i change a delfield 407-dhl from a freezer into a cooler
Refrigerators and freezers are almost identical except for more controls on a freezer. Just raise the thermostat to the temperature you need. If it won't adjust that high, you will need to replace it.

If the thermostat will let you set that high of a temp, you probably could use it. Let me give you a few things to think about. At higher temps, the refrigerant pressures could cause the compressor to work harder which would shorten the life. The unit will also have shorter run cycles which could over work the compressor. Shorter run times will affect the humidity of the conditioned space. Bad thing if you have fruits and veggies in there. You will have to eliminate the defrost cycles. No need to have "Forced" defrost at cooler temps. I am not a big fan of using equipment for things other than what it was designed for. So, you can try it and keep an eye on how it performs. Good luck and hope this is of some help.

It can be done but someone would have to do their homework. They have to know the BTU rating of the evap. Then match the compressor and expansion device to it for the intended temp range. In some cases, the compressor can be used in multiple temp ranges, so you could be lucky and just change the expansion device and possible the temp control, depending on which one you have. Let me know if I can be of any further help.

to do it right, you gotta get technical. Need to know the BTU rating of the evap coil. Then match the compressor/ condenser coil and the expansion device to the same BTU rating. Can prove to be somewhat expensive. Your unit probably has a 3/4 h.p. compressor. This is pretty big for a 2 door unit. Probably too big, but again, gotta get the technical on all that stuff.
