ARP Control for fridge

Saw an article on this product that is supposed to keep fridge from overheating and extend the life. Has any one installed it? Is it worth the money. Our fridge already has a fan since it is vented through an upper vent. Is there second fan really needed?

    It would have saved me a lot of $$$$ if I’d had one when I parked over night on a incline and forgot to turn my 1200 off. Having a switch to turn on an additional fan would be nice...good addition feature from the original ones.
  • Been thinking about one of these as well.
    I have fans, does it make sense to get the one with cooling fan control?
  • Ours works as described, good add on system, would add to any gas/electric refer I might own.
  • Yes, they are worth it. One of the BIG features is the design to turn the refer OFF if you park unlevel for time enough to possibly damage the CU. It then turns the refer back on once the unlevel condition goes away. It does this by monitoring the boiler temp. When you park unlevel, your boiler temp rises and the ARP detects that and stops any potential damage. Doug
  • Hi,

    I have the ARP installed. It does work as advertised. However, my fridge is slowly going to fridge heaven and so I've wired around the ARP for now.

    If I am concerned about overheating, I can put it back in the circuit by flipping one switch.
