Rewire T-stat fans

Never got around to doing this last season but am thinking of doing it today.  But I need help cause I'm not exactly sure of what I'm doing.

In the pic below is what to my knowledge is the t-stat switch which decides when and if to turn on the 2 computer fans below the fins of my fridge to help cool the coils.

I want mine to run all the time.  I'm probably wrong in assuming it's this easy but can I just pull the wires from the t-stat switch and then stick the 3 fan wires together thus bypassing the t-stat and having the fans run all the time.

Seems the likely fix to me.  Right?  That switch is what triggers and then completes the circuit and allows the fans to come on, so removing them from the t-stat and wiring them together then equals fans on all the time?

It's likely I'm missing something or completely out of left field with this idea, so any help is appreciated!
