Fridge controller - will it burn out fridge?

[beerboy]

I have just put fv of wort into fridge, the TC-10 is reading 18.9C as the sensor is in the wort, now the fridge compressor seems to be on permanently - Will it stay on until the wort has cooled to preset temp (11C)?
Surely it'll take a couple of days to chill down, with the compressor running all that time?
Is it set up wrong?
HELP!

The compressor will run as long as the cooling circuit on your TC10 thinks it's over temp.
Take the probe out of the wort and put it in the fridge, the compressor will then turn on and off, but be aware that the wort will run about 1C higher than the ambient temp during active fermentation.
