Refrigerator fan noise
I have a new Cruisers RV TT with a kitchen slide out. It has a Dometic refrigerator that has a cooling fan that kicks on when it gets hot and stays on for quite a long time. This fan is really noisy a...

Here are a few eBay finds. Again.. If its not ball bearing, or it doesn't list current or CFM, you shouldn't buy it because you simply have no idea what you just bought. Why install a 30-50CFM fan when the one you removed was x2-3 times that airflow ? You are reducing the efficiency of the fridge simply because you cant move enough air across the coils, and likely voiding warranty on the cooling unit if this is a DIY.
There are too many fans out there. Don't buy one that won't provide the spec of the fan.
124CFM @ 520ma.
120CFM @ 500ma "waterproof"
118CFM @ 500ma
Or you can spend $90.00 on an OEM fan 12V @ 400ma. that doesn't say what the CFM rating or bearings are, but it has an easily referenced part number thats easy to look up and find even more exactly like it.
Since I am augmenting my airflow for hot days when the sun is beating down on the fridge side, I;ll be adding 4ea. 120mm fans to the upper vent on a separate thermostat along with manual bypass. One will run all the time, and the other three when called for. THESE are very quiet, low current draw, but running 4 gets the airflow up where it needs to be and clean wide air draw across the vent.
