Default source for chest freezer cooler parts

I have access to a small chest freezer that I would like to convert to a
cool ferment area. Need some sort of thermostat/coupler to have it chill
the chest, but not freeze. Have heard about this being done, but don't
know the specifics of how to do this or what equipement I will need.

during the summer in Kentucky it get quite hot, nearly cooked a batch of
fruit medley as it went to super-active ferment and temps pushed 90.

thanks in advance

Something like the controller listed he http://kegman.net/9025.html
will do the job nicely, taking over the thermostat of the freezer. (No
association with the site, etc.) HTH
