oops, I tried to edit, but I flocked it up.

EDIT:

BUT, whether I leave the thermostat open(wires cut and separated) or closed(wires shorted) it behaves the same way. It shuts off @ -15c, and back on @ +5c(box temperature).

Very strange if you ask me. What should I do?

Here is a picture of......well it's obvious. The entire probe is inside the box.
