Thanks Roy Ken and GdeTrailer for the two options and the very clear illustrations! I know those took time and effort, especially Roy Ken's.

A dimmer switch would not work for a compressor-driven fridge or freezer. If the dimmer switch functions with an inductive load (many will not), it would very likely burn out the compressor motor in short order.
