Then, when the fridge approaches the set temp, does it act like a dimmer switch or an ON-OFF switch?
ON-OFF switch

Asked another way, is there a measured value of resistance "we" consider OPEN or infinite that is not really OPEN?
It's ether OPEN all the way or shorted (closed). It's nothing more then a switch the operates on temp.

It helps to insulate it.
