I've had two different ones from ebay vendors and neither lasted a year. They first got noisy then one fan stopped. I was never convinced they did much anyway and I used a remote digital thermometer to monitor. I do like the looks of the fridge fix.
as do I. I bought a fan similar to the one shown by Bob213. it did nothing for cooling. well, that's not entirely true...somehow the temps in the fridge when that fan was running actually went UP. :h
a couple of troubleshooting tips from my RV mnechanic:
- if you want to test your fridge to see if the cooling unit may be bad just remove the thermistor sensor from the fridge's cooling fins. that will make the fridge run full bore. if the cooling unit is working you should see temps start to fall. make note of the specific fin and place on that fin from where the thermistor was located so it can be returned to the same location.
- on Norcold models (not sure about Dometic models) lower the thermistor on the fin if the fridge is running cold and raise it if the fridge is running warm.
