where to drill fridge?

I have a "half height" type Dometic fridge, not sure the exact model - can dig it up if need be.

I'm wondering where a "safe" area is to drill a small hole to bring in power for a fan and some led lights. A picture is worth 1000 words if you've done this already!

adding the fan to improve cooling and maybe help with frost build up.

adding the leds, well, because I'm an addict for leds and I have a freebie 10 foot 12v cool-white strip laying around.

I don't think I'll worry about a switch... maybe a PIR motion detector if I'm feeling ambitious, I have a few micro ones laying around.

  • I ran a 12volt wire for a cooling fan from the outside through the drain tube...didn't have to drill anything.
  • Instead of drilling a new hole..........see if there already a wire going to a light fixture or the thermistor wire......I too ran a new wire inside and just used the existing grommet and existing hole......
