Cold & Colder TEC1-12706 SR High Grade Peltier Cooler Module Chip

Purchased this TEC1 Peltier Cooler to save/repair a beverage chiller based on reviews and I'm very pleased with it. Compared to the old peltier cooler, it is slightly thicker, heavier and has thicker wiring so it is probably better quality unit than what it replaced. A few points to help others: Some reviews said there was no indication of cold vs hot side. I used a battery and laser thermometer to determine which was which and marked it w a pen. It is also very important to clean everything from dust and remove the old chalky thermal paste and use new paste. I used a good quality paste for processors I found here on Amazon. You don't need much! You might also consider replacing the controller board to avoid dealing with replacing capacitors or the original board later on. And I found that the chiller is much more efficient than before with the new TEC1 peltier cooler and new thermal paste, so this TEC1 cooler is keeping the chiller colder despite being at a lower setting, saving money on power use. In other words for me its a: win, win, win. Hope this is helpful!

Work perfectly Was packaged way better than the one I bought previously on aliexpress

Very happy

Double the price of some others but worth the price I believe. They appear to be slightly thicker and have a larger gauge wire attachment (larger gauge meaning heavier duty).

My wine refrigerator stopped cooling. I pulled apart the unit and was surprised to see the cooling was done with a TEC1-12706 Cooler Chip. So, I ordered this chip as a replacement and the refrigerator started cooling again. The refrigerator has been working for the last 2-3 months since I switched to this chip. One important detail, the interwebs told me I needed thermal paste as part of the replacement. I purchased thermal paste for $6 on Amazon.
