My fridge will not turn on in the cold garage. Someone told me that I can install some sort of external thermometer. If so what do I need and how do I get it and install it. Thanks

The reason that the fridge will not run in the cold garage is that the oil in the compressor is to thick to allow it to start.

To my knowledge there is no thermostat that will fix that.
