Noisey Dometic refrigerator fan
The refrig in our TT is in a slide-out that vents out the back side of the unit. The fan is quite noisey and I've read a lot of people have complained about the noise level, it's a common problem. T...

By all means, use more, larger slower quieter fans if you have the room to do so.
That 4500 rpm 92Mm fan likely draws -.7 amps
I have a vantec tornaldo 92mm fan at 0.8 amp and 4800 rpm and claims to move 119CFM. Very loud and powerful.
So 4500 rpm lets say 100cfm. If the designers who installed the loud 92MM fan determined 100CFM is required, and there is room for 2 120MM fans.
The Noctua NF-f12 together would move ~106CFM for 0.1amps
BUt they are a pricey fan. They do come with 'noise reduction cables (resistors) to run at 2 lower speeds
Lots of 120MM fans though.

Honestly the Silverstone fans with speed control are just plug and play. YOu could duct tape the potentiometers and their wiring in the general area, dial them to a lower speed in winter, and crank them up in summer when loading the fridge down. You can also relocate them about 3 feet from the fan itself, or further if you want to splice in more wire
The silverstone FM121 is quieter on full speed 2400 rpm, than my 4800 rpm 92Mm fan, and draws half the amperage for nearly the same cfm rating.
For noise and efficiency at 100CFM, 2 noctua nf-f12's would be hard to beat at just 0.1amp.
If battery consumption is a consideration.
