Used to surprise me when the fan would go on during hot days when the fridge was off.

The fan runs based on the condenser fin temperature.  The thermostat
is attached to one of the fins.  The condenser temp is largely
independent of the heat source used to power the fridge (although
using gas does shed some extra heat from the flue into the area
behind the fridge).
