wonder fan for norcold fridge

two of my friends have this fan installed in their fridge, all you have is a ground clip and a hot wire you hook up to the fridge light, when you close the door the fan runs and circulates the air in the fridge. My problem is when i hook it up to my 2009 fridge light it runs when the door is open and shuts off when you close the door, my to friends have older norcold units and the fan works fine has anyone encountered this problem with the newer fridge and if so whats the fix if any.

  • dieseldave, thanks that,s what i thought, after further questioning the dealer put their fans on that explains a lot.

    Thanks
  • Yes, i had the same problem with my 2007 Norcold. The work around is to find an outside source for 12v. On mine I ran a small wire down the condensation tube to the backside of the fridge to get to a 12v source. I fused it with 0.5 amp fuse.
