Refrigerator Interior fan ?

X5 CPU fan because they are ball bearing not sleeve fans. I have one inside my 24 volt freon refer and all 120 freezers. Reduces cold spot freezer burn. 2 watts 40mm

I use the 3 fan setup from RvCoolingUnit in my Norcold and what a difference from before having them. No ice build up on the fins and helps keep the interior cooler circulating the air.

Readings from the battery display 12vdc power consumption with led light & 3 fans is .5a, 2 fans .2-.3a

Condensate at the top of the cooling compartment.
Check your manual for an "Enviorment" switch. this is actually a small heater (Does bad thigns on my dometic That might also work.

But My Fans seem to be helpign big time. Earlier post describes them (From RvCoolingUnit

small computer fan

Interior fridge fans do not need to be powerful. They actually increase the heat load that must be sucked out, the more powerful the fan the more heat it generates.

I use a discontinued 0.03 amp Sunon Maglev 40mm x 20mm 6.3 cfm fan in my small compressor fridge, and it has run 24/7/365 since October 2012.

Huge difference in interior temp range. was 22f to 44f inside without fan, and is within 4 degrees F with it, and I use a lower thermostat setting. I tapped into the light's circuit before its reed switch.

I had a few old tower computers laying around. I pulled the fans out of those and put two behind the fride and one inside on a switch connected to the 12v light wire. Works wonderful and cost nothing.

Those computer fans work well, and cheap.

I have been looking for a cooling compartment fan for my Norcold . It seems to allways have some condensate along the top of the fresh food compartment & I had to replace the light fixture the other day because of this.
All I have found are the battery powered ones but I want to hardwire. Am I going to just have to get a 12v fan & southern engineer it in ?

I have one of the ones that mount to the fins along with one of the battery powered ones and find the battery one place in an upper shelf right at the front does the best. That location allows air to be circulated helped by the space on the door bins. Two "D" cell batteries last over a month of continuous use so it's not that costly to use.

My Fridge is a Dometic but..... I use THE one DPGLG linked to. I've not had a light issue or moisture where it would bother the light but it does cut down on frost on the fins.. BIG TIME.

One thing I did different from teh directions. Instructions say to run the power lead out the drip tube.. I just ran it over to the door light on my Dometic and hooked in before the switch.. Works great

Here is a less expensive one on eBay:

I bought mine off of eBay and it has a switch to turn it on and off and is hardwired into 12v wiring on back of frig.

Good luck!

I use a Hard drive cooling fan with the two fan wired in series. Nice and quiet and clips onto the shelf. No need to mount on the cooling fins. All you need is a little circulation. Run it off of the 12 volt light wires.
