Probably... OK I am going to fill you in on something here that almost no one knows. The True coolers all use a thermostat that reads the coil temperature and has no idea what the box air temperature might be. They are all pretty much the same but have a few different variations. For most beverage coolers though they are getting the coil down to around 13-15 degrees and then shut off and stay off until the coil gets back up to 38-40 degrees.This means that the air temperature can be anywhere from 23 to 50 degrees at any given moment but the product temperature is going to average out in the middle. If the box is full no problem the temperature swing will not be anything like this because the product will keep the temperature more stable. If the box is empty you will need to put SOMETHING in there to help stabilize the temperature before panicking. 3 or 4 gallons of water will do. Also if you want to sleep better at night put a thermometer in a glass of water in the cooler to get a better idea what your product temperature really is and don't put too much faith in the cheap dial thermometer mounted to the outside of the box. Oh and set the dial on 5 and if that doesn't work the thermostat could be a problem... they are the weak link in these units.
