My Samsung is front intake and front exhaust. There is a baffle in the rear that separates the inlet and exhaust with an access plate covering the two. That's why I thought about removing the plate and cutting it so it only seals the inlet and air from the fan would still cool the condenser but let it exhaust out the back and up the sidewall to the roof top vent. Since it would be a positive pressure not additional fan would be necessary.
Of course I could be fixing a non-exsitant problem,...I've been known to do that occasionally.
While the problem might be a non-existent problem in a home, I think you have a great idea and should take a look at the option of making it a rear exhaust UNLESS there are also coils that the air blows across on the return trip. If there is then I think you are stuck with the existing air flow pattern. If not, you would have a setup just like mine and the air drawn in the front blows out the rear and exhausts out the roof. The old RV fridge sidewall vent was sealed to prevent outside air coming in so it keeps the rear of the fridge warm (exposed water lines) and a nice steady air flow due to natural convection.
