The old control mechanism has the switch as part of the lever assembly.
As you slide the temperature lever toward "cold" it closes the switch
and turns on the compressor.  So, all you need to do is to re-wire to
use the switch on the new front panel instead.

You can switch the old wheel's horn ring assembly to the 5KTW's wheel.
