Snap Disc Thermostat for Norcold external fans

A couple words on the fans....

1. Ball bearing are better than sleeve bearing.
2. Check the CFM on the ones you're considering. They vary greatly. You want the best bang for your buck. Get ones with a high CFM or you could be disappointed.


Here's a link to what I did...YMMV...Dennis

I do not see why not because there is nothing "Norcold" about the fans and disc as far as i know. You just have to find a 12v source behind the frig. We got our computer fans from Radio Shack.

I was thinking it would be the same, but wanted to make sure.

both the snap snap disc and the fans are available at frys electronics or radio shack (depending on the store) frys had may different styles of fans.

Hi,

My fan install is on a Dometic.

On really hot days the fans shut off a couple of hours after dark. I also ordered a 120/100 at the same time but was happy with the 110/90 and never changed it. It's mounted a foot or so below the roof and kind of a pain to pull the vent cap to get at it.

Dennis I expect you are correct on a 1200.

Mine run all the time, but I only have to set the fridge thermostat to 2 to keep everything at the correct temp. I figure the fans are less expensive than running the fridge at 5 or 6...but I've been wrong before....:B....Dennis

Hi Moisheh,

Mine do not run continuously. I think I have it set for 70 F. But then, I can adjust it, or if need be, turn it off.
