Default leaving fridge on

It might, with an old refrigerator thermostat in the freezer and a Thermocube
in the fridge compartment that light a 100 W bulb in the fridge if the freezer
rises to 20 F (to keep frozen food frozen) or the fridge falls to 35 (to avoid
freezing the fridge contents.) Will this hurt the compressor?

That's pretty neat, but it won't help out with the subfreezing condenser
air. Somehow I doubt that a fan cycle control is a viable option
