looking for limit switch for refrigerator
I've added the computer fans to the coils on the back of my Dometic reefer. Now I'd like to find a source for the limit switch to turn them off when not required. Or maybe recommendations on temp. ran...

does anyone here think that the reefer coils on the back can be "over-cooled"? Yesterday, with about the same outside temp here (92 Degrees) I had 2 80MM computer fans mounted under the condenser coils and a 9 inch diameter fan mounted to exhaust hot air from the upper vent behind the reefer. Today I have the computer fans mounted at the bottom blowing upward on the larger coils and am not using the larger fan. Yesterday the reefer struggled to hold the temp in the low 40s. Today, it is holding the temp in the low 30s. Trailer hasn't moved (no shade either day) and almost exact same outside temp., full sun both days.
Now I wish I'd ordered a second switch with a higher cut-in temp to stagger the the fan usage --Tuna, I wouldn't mind using up a little solar power on the fans, 'cept I just ain't got none. Relying on generator power when camping. I'm also kinda 'phobic' so as soon as I decide what fans will do the job, I'll order spares, never know how long the cheap chinese fans will last in heavy usage. But in all these years, only one computer has ever had the fan to fail.
