Thanks so very much for the advice.... dropping a switched wire option sounds like an intelligent thing to do .... think I'll do the same .... installed 3 switched fans but the fridge still stays around 39-42 on #5 on these 90-95 degree days, with me only rarely opening it ... sure would like to have those muffin fans working too ... the new fans will hold a fiber blue shop towel on the outside access panel, even with the bug screen on the access panel .... when it cools to 75-80 degree days, it will stay in the lower 30's on #5 .... guess my unit is just wearing down ....
