I need my refridgerator to be a box.
A box that gets cold inside.
Thats it. Just a cold box.
I also want it dispense cold water. That's not a requirement, just nice to have.
I just wish I could buy a cold box, a hot box, a spinny-arm water box and a spinny-drum water box without computer chips in them at all.
So we need a robust, failsafe open source motor controller with minimal firmware or just heavy duty relays and analog timers.
It needs a brain, but only enough to record the cycles from the factory controller and then replay them after replacement.
