Fan is thermostatic controlled ----senses Condenser FIN temp (finned section at top of fridge)
That is where hot ammonia vapor is condensed into cool liquid ammonia.
Thermostat turns fan on at 135*F FIN Temp and off at 115*F FIN Temp
FINs only get hot when vapor is being generated/flowing thru cooling unit
IF Fins are HOT (indicates flow) then FAN NEEDS to be running.....if NOT cooling WILL be affected.
Bad thermostat/bad fan/blown fuse on DC to fan (DC to/thru t-stat then to fan)
FAN could be powered via separate DC line with 1A in-line fuse
FAN could be powered directly thru circuit board.
IF fridge is in a slideout......FAN Required
T-stat on FIN can be accessed via upper side wall vent/cover
Not in a slide out........harder to gain access
