DO NOT just start splicing into random wires without being absolutely certain you know what they are. This is potentially dangerous. The Danby has a digital control unit that it's temp probe runs into. This probe is a diode that is biased with a set current source, changing its resistive value via the mod fools the controller into thinking the probe is reading something it's not.
Most other units using the thermostat I described before don't use an electronic probe. They use a wet bulb that activates a window switch to apply the leg side of the A/C to the compressor. These thermostats only have 2 wires and it's directly off the plug that goes to the wall outlet. Wiring in a resistor into this will likely just blow the resistor up when the compressor's in-rush current hits it. Or... it could start a small fire.
