I got the cheapest bi-metal I could find (Honeywell) at Home Depot, I
think $15. The only thing is, it's for heating only, so the logic is
reversed - it turns on when the temp goes lower. So I had to follow
the instructions on the SOFC website regarding adding a relay into the
circuit (about $3 plus $1.50 for breadboard).

Also, the adjustment lever has stops at each end of its travel, so it
wouldn't normally go low enough. I just cut the stops off with snips.
It can now swing way past what would be freezing, I'm sure.

It collects quite a bit of condensation in the ice chamber, so I
drilled a hole in the bottom and ran a piece of tubing to allow
runoff.
