Actually that's exactly the one I have in my fridge. I posted the dforce one because the guy I bought mine from doesn't appear to be selling them anymore.

In addition to the fans themselves, the eBay ones come ready for fridge use. Mine came with an alligator clip attached to it so you clamp it to the fins it is also the ground. It also had a lead of wire to attach to the fridge light circuit. Yeah I could have built all that myself but for another $7 it wasn't worth the effort.

I got mine for about $15. Unless you're hung up on the LEDs, I wouldn't spend $90. It works great. Clips to the fins, powered by the fridge light. No icing.

The seller is the same as the RV Cooling Warehouse...the folks who market the Amish cooling unit. dforce, the seller, is David Force..that was the unit we had until I dumped the Norcold...worked well...Dennis

I JB welded two of those together and it covers most of the fins. The beer stays much colder now. We actually had to turn our fridge to a warmer setting, they help so much.

That's a great idea. I move mine around. Two "welded" together would be much better!

Not sure how the defrost cycle is supposed to work, but it didn't on mine. I had icebergs on the fins and poor cooling before the fans. Ice actually insulates the thermostat making it think it needs to be on all the time. The fans move the cold air around and keep the thermostat working properly.

Before the fans, stuff on the top shelf would freeze and stuff on the bottom was warm. Now it's even. They may look cheap, but I'm not trying to win a beauty contest in the fridge.

I got the fridge-fix in my Dometic 1350, love it does a great job and looks good too unlike those cheap things.
