When I wired my frig fans in place like above I added a switch so I can activate the fan system as desired, besides being on a thermostat. Works great.

Here is a snap disc t-stat for fan control.........Closes when CONDENSER FIN temp (location of t-stat) reaches 130*F and then Opens when condenser fin temp drops below 115*F
(Scroll down page and see others available........some measure ambient air temps etc)
The ARP RV fridge safety controller also has fan control capability, so why not get two improvements at the same time.
If your fridge came stock with two fans, e.g. a Norcold 12xx model, it already has a thermostatic controller. It is driven off the condenser temperature, i.e. the thermostat is mounted right on the condenser tube.
