Fan thermostat kit...........LINK
Goes on far right condenser fin (set of fins at upper vent)
12V + to t-stat then to fan(s)
You can put an On/Off switch in line.
Powers fan when condenser fin temp reaches 130*F.....opens when fin temp drops below 115*F
Install fan center line, mid position of fridge
Some wiring, switch, computer fan, t-stat kit......done
