I received my ebay STC-1000 the other day and proceeded to wire it up according to the many tutorials out there. All seems fine and the unit powers up ok and displays the current temp on the front panel. The cool light flashes for a couple of minutes (fridge compressor delay) and then goes solid and power is supplied to my female plug. This is all well and good until I try to change the settings. Holding the S button in for a few seconds does absolutely nothing, the display does not change. Therefore I am unable to set my fermentation temperature as the default is 10deg.
I suspect the unit is faulty and have sent an email off to the ebay seller with this same information. I have yet to receive a reply. Has anyone else experienced this problem with one of these units? Am I just doing something really obviously wrong?
Of course I would prefer to prove myself stupid than have to send the unit back. Any input/name calling welcome here.
