Put On Ice Shayla?

Q. If I can’t find a Goy can I put a small bag of ice on the thermostat and eventually it will turn itself off? See question 1098 above, in regards to turning off the AC when it is too cold.)

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is preferable to ask a child to place the bag of ice cubes on the thermostat when in need, or to do it with a shinui.
