Kolpak 290981075 Digital Thermometer for Walk-In Refrigeration

Kolpak 290981075 Digital Thermometer

The Kolpak 290981075 temperature gauge is a digital thermometer for compatible commercial walk-in refrigeration equipment. It displays the temperature sensed by its remote probe, giving service technicians and operators a convenient reference when checking cooler or freezer conditions. Match the original part number and equipment configuration before ordering.

Product Identification

• Manufacturer part reference: 290981075
• Brand reference: Kolpak
• Component: digital thermometer / temperature display
• Application: compatible commercial walk-in cooler and freezer temperature monitoring
• Ordering unit: each

The pictured assembly has a rectangular faceplate, digital display and attached sensing lead. Confirm mounting dimensions, probe routing, supply requirements and package contents for the unit being replaced. Exact probe length, operating voltage, measurement range and transformer inclusion are not confirmed for this supplied assembly.

What This Temperature Gauge Does

The remote sensing element measures temperature at its installed location and the display presents that reading. Probe placement matters: a sensor near a doorway, evaporator discharge or warm surface may read differently from one elsewhere in the cabinet. This thermometer is a monitoring component; do not select it as a replacement thermostat or compressor controller.

Symptoms to Investigate

• A blank, flickering or unreadable temperature display.
• Missing display segments or unstable readings.
• A persistent difference from a checked reference thermometer at the same sensing location.
• Physical damage to the probe lead, faceplate or electrical connections.

Before replacing the thermometer, have a qualified technician check its power supply, connections and probe condition. Compare readings under stable conditions at the same location. Door openings and defrost cycles can produce real temperature changes; replacing the gauge will not correct an actual refrigeration fault.

Before You Order

• Match 290981075 to the equipment or door-assembly parts documentation.
• Record the full equipment model and serial number.
• Compare the faceplate dimensions, mounting holes and available installation depth.
• Confirm the required probe reach and connector arrangement.
• Check the thermometer's rated supply and whether the installation requires a separate transformer.
• Confirm the exact assembly and included accessories before purchase.

No universal Kolpak fit is claimed. Model-specific compatibility has not been established for this listing. If the original number has been superseded, confirm the correct service replacement for your equipment before ordering. Do not assume that similarly shaped gauges share the same wiring or sensor characteristics.

Installation and Service Notes

Disconnect the equipment power before working on wiring. Follow the applicable equipment and thermometer instructions, protect the sensing lead from pinching or sharp bends, and restore the specified probe location. After installation, compare the displayed reading with a suitable reference thermometer under stable conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kolpak 290981075?

It is a digital temperature gauge used to monitor compatible commercial refrigeration equipment through a remote sensing probe.

Does this thermometer control the refrigeration system?

This listing is for a temperature display, not a thermostat or refrigeration controller. Verify the failed component's function before selecting a replacement.

Will it fit any Kolpak walk-in cooler or freezer?

Fit depends on the equipment and display configuration. Match the part reference, mounting, electrical requirements and sensing arrangement to your model and serial number.

How long is the temperature probe lead?

The exact lead length for the supplied assembly must be confirmed before purchase. Measure the required routing distance rather than estimating from the product photograph.

Is a transformer included?

Transformer inclusion is not confirmed for this listing. Check the existing supply and the supplied package contents before planning the repair; do not connect the display to an assumed voltage.

Why does the display disagree with another thermometer?

Different sensing locations, response times, door openings and defrost operation can affect readings. Compare both sensors in the same location after conditions stabilize, then investigate persistent differences.

What information helps verify the correct replacement?

Provide the equipment model and serial number, original gauge markings, faceplate measurements, supply label and photographs of the probe and connectors. These details help distinguish versions and service replacements.
