No, you don’t have to mess with the refrigerator thermostat at all. The unit is self contained and hanging on the wall to the left in the picture.
A male cord runs from the controller to the wall outlet, and a you plug the refrigerator’s male plug into a female outlet on the controller. So the controller is sitting in the middle of your electrical connectivity where it can toogle on and off.
Then there is a temperature probe that runs from the controller into the fridge (You can see the probe in the photo sitting on the meat). Then you set the controller for whatever temperature you want and set the sensitivity and it will then toggle the fridge on and off as needed to maintain that temperature range.
For my drybag steak I set the temp to 36 degrees and the range as two degrees, so it turns the fridge on when temperature rises above 38 and off when it hits 34. Worked like a charm.
