The general consensus is that they do, however most seem to subscribe (myself included) that fans mounted in the rear of the fridge externally and/or at the top of the vent stack will yield better results. My personal setup is two computer fans on the fridge roof vent sucking hot air out and a Valterra fan below blowing hot air up to the computer fans.
Do ya have thermoters in your fridge/freezer? I have small digital ones that I picked up at a local Wally World.
