frig-fix by Smart RV products

Hi,

I powered the fan I purchased from the interior light supply. No need to cut any wires. I did not wish to restrict the drain line.

DOMETIC RM1350. :B Doug

Brain Fart, Thanks for the correction

That was featured in Trailer Life magazine a while back. It's just a couple of fans and a spiffy blue LED light.
I already have a small fan in there for when it's really hot outside so I don't see the need. It also looks like it takes up a lot of room.

Well if it was featured in Trailer Life it has to be good..

This is an actual picture of the one I have in my Norcold. It will drop the frig temp by 5-8 degrees within minutes of turning the fan on. I think it was around $23 on Ebay. The power cord is run down through the overflow drain into the backside area of the frig vent compartment to the 12 volt. Took 15 minutes to install & yes they work well.

Call me cheap, but I've found that the $15 Valterra fridge fans that run 4-6 weeks on two "D" batteries quite effective without taking the risk of cutting wires or bending the cooling fins.

Hi,

It will work but is over priced.

Have a look here: interior fridge fan $17

I've had one of those for several years - it works great and has held up.

Doesn't look like anything more than a couple computer fans that circulate the inside air of the frig. Well overpriced in my opinion.

You took the words off my fingers.. I fully agree.

It is a good tool for circulating cool air thru-out food section compartment.

But any fan that moves air inside food section will accomplish the same thing.

They will not improve 'cooling' issues experienced due to high ambient air temperatures. That is due to lack of proper draft air flow) across cooling unit.

Fan(s) installed in outside compartment will help......along with proper baffling so that the draft is improved.

Two different issues.........two different but similar fixes in that fans are used but not for same reason.
