That looks pretty effective but would be no help in our case. Our fridge is in the slide and does not have a roof vent.
My mistake as you referred to the top vent thinking it was a roof vent. If your fridge is not cooling properly then the simplest solution is a small room fan, about $15/WalMart and bungee cord it to the outside vent. I don't think it matters much. Just before mine failed, I had to do just that with the lower vent. Having the air passing across the tubes cooled it enough to maintain the temps inside the box. You have to be plugged in though so that may be an issue for you. The fridge does NOT have to be removed. You might find some strapping Mexican lad that would help/pull the box forward enough for you to get in there and replace the one that's not working. If you replace one, you should replace both. Also, make sure the replacements are ball bearing fans....Dennis
Here is the fan I used. YMMV
It is working now quite well after this temporary fix which I made weeks ago. I need something that will get me home. I'll have a shot using what I have available here and see how it works as we work our way north. If I find it necessary I should be able to find better fans in Puerto Vallarta or Mazatlan next month.
