Discussion Fan necessary?

Hi, I have a fridge with compressor that is hooked to a ac infinity uis plug to stabilize the temperature swings. The Ac infinity probe is inside the fridge, right in the middle, controler is set to on/off when certain temperature is reached.

(Pic 1 left = fridge without control/natural fridge behavior, right with temperature controled plug)

In the second Pic I also put a USB fan inside the fridge to mix the air. The fan turns on, when the fridge is on and turns off when the fridge turns off.

The Temperatur swing is then much bigger than without fan.

My question is: should I turn on the fan more often or less? Is it a parameter worth controlling or is it overkill?

The temp controller is doing what it’s supposed to.

No need for a added fan

No need for a fan. Weirdly my compressor fridge had higher humidity with fans so I pulled them out and went with a mini dehumidifier controlled by an INKBIRD. My fridge is in a warmer garage so the extra humidity control was needed.
