Frost control

Ok, I will cover this again.
On many Refrigerators, both HOME and RV, there is a moisture control switch, This has NOTHING TO DO with Frost.. It has to do with moisture (Water) around the door seal.
Some RV fridges have an LAT (low Ambient Temp) Switch, This switch turns on the interior light all the time, It overrides the door switch.
Cutting the wire and inserting an SPST switch, will NOT simulate the LAT switch
The LAT switch is connected across the door switch, YOU DO NOT CUT WIRES TO ADD ONE.
But againk, this has NOTHIng to do with frost control.. There is no frost control on an RV type fridge.
Residential Fridges may have heaters built in (Say what) to heat the cooling coils and melt off frost.. often these either run on a "Time of day" program or on a "So many seconds after the compressor stops" type program.. But yes, they actually HEAT the interior to melt the frost. Are there better ways? I do not know but I know a man who once cooled a room to sixty below zero. And that's how he did it.. But the frost melter was controlled by a sensor. Only came on when needed.
