Default Adding thermostat control to the refrig during DC operation

Many TM owners don't realize that when the refrigerator is switched to battery (12 VDC) operation, there is no thermostatic control. The refrig operates at max cooling all the time. Among other annoyances, this will freeze the food in the refrig. On another RV Owners web site, I recently ran across an article showing how a reasonably simple mod to the refrig will add thermostat control during DC operation. With the permission of that web site's owner, I copied relevant parts of the article. It is attached.
