Refrigerator Fan
Does anyone have any experience with this fan? Refrigerator Fan After reading other posts I was thinking this may make the cool down time faster but I was wondering about this type of fan. Please ...

I installed two of these fans in my Norcold 1210. Found they moved a lot of air well in the fridge but they caused moisture to accumulate on the fins at both sides of the fridge and then freeze. This resulted in reduced cooling capacity when the fins iced as the thermistor was in the affected area. As a result, the fridge cooling deteriorated and I removed them. Seems like a great idea in theory but in my case, it failed in practice. Cooling is now much better without them.
I also added a 160cfm muffin fan at the top vent. In my coach, the fridge is in a slide and it is difficult to exhaust the heat out the sidewall vent so the fan helped considerably in Florida this winter. Since then, I added two additional 160cfm fans that I can switch on and hope this will work well during the hot summer. Time will tell. Sounds to me that I wouldn't be fighting these battles with a residential fridge so who knows what time will bring!
