Fridge Fan - Another Idea
So has anybody tried using a 12V computer fan tied across the gas solenoid? The fan would run only when the gas burner was on. And / or using a 115V fan across the heater element?

I did the same as rod knocker.
You need airflow over the cooling unit fins when on gas or electric. The same amount of heat is present on either mode.
Using a fan switch at around 90 degrees is the way to go. Be sure that you use a manual on-off switch or the fan will turn on when temps hit 90 degrees even if the fridge is off.
Mine is a 12-volt dc computer fan.
