Making conventional fridges into cheese cellars
Thermostat control
Basic thermostats are commercially
available that can help you convert an old fridge into a reliable cheese
cellar with degree by degree control.

The thermostat's temperature probe is inserted into the fridge through a small hole made in the side wall. The fridge is plugged into the thermostat and the temperature set. The thermostat simply turns the fridge off and on, maintining the desired temperature within.
Blessed Cheesemakers retails thermostats for $175 per unit.
