FYI, There is a new invention from UK. It is called the ecube. It it a device which is installed over the thermostat of a cooler and mimics real food as opposed to measuring the temperature of the air in the cooler. When the cooler,refrigerator door is opened the cold air falls out and the air temperature probe immediatly senses the warmer air and cycles on. With the ecube the probe is covered by the device and only cycles on when the material in the ecube (which mimics real food) changed temperature enogh to warrant cycling on. The result is fewer on cyces and longer run periods, thus saving up to 20% on electric bill and increasing motor life up 80% due to less on-off cycles. Google "ecube" for info. The price is kind of high but it depends on how adament you are about saving electric.
