Fridge fan quieting
My fridge fan is louder and whinier inside the trailer than outside. There are 4 fans, fridge is in a slide, so side vented. Anybody done a mod to reduce the sound?

I've never had the upper vent off our fridge (8 cu. ft. Norcold) so I had a peek yesterday while doing a wash 'n wax job and see that there's just one 4" fan in there. If Norcold can do it with a single fan and be very quiet, can't a single (or maybe two) decent 4" ball bearing fan(s) work just fine in a Dometic? I would assume both manufacturers have a spec for min & max cfm for sidewall vented fridges.
We’ re in the process (should complete and test today) of replacing our single fan with a pair on our Dometic (14 year old unit). The fans have “fluid bearings”, not sure exactly what that means.....but, they are very quiet. Hopefully they will help the refrigerator performance. Fingers crossed!
