I built this for my 16yr old fridge. The overnight lows were pretty close during both tests, around 87*. The data recorder was placed on the first shelf up. I'm very happy with it, but I think a smaller fan would suffice, I'll make another with a 100mm fan and see how that goes this spring.

Those fridge fan units on ebay are $13. If you are handy, have some wire and a small switch they are 3.5" HDD cooling fans that are available for under $5. That's why all the mounting holes along the edges. Been using them for years on my desktop PC drives. Not sure what the switch is really needed for. Tap power off the control panel ON switch and it would be on whenever the fridge is.
Jeff's fan looks like a standard CPU fan.

I like your solution Jeff, how did you mount the fan to the roof of the reefer or to the fins itself? Did you try different locations along the fins before you settled on placing it in the middle of the fins?
