Add on auxiliary fan for refrigerator.

[quick83]

Has anyone added a fan to the cooling fins to their refrigerator. The ones that are about 30$ look good that can be hooked up to reefer light. Any suggestions? This is the one I’m looking at.

Dear JOHN:

I added both units inside and outside, I live in FL always hot down here. It is a little hard to quantify the improvement, but I would guess 15-20% First cool down to pre-flight for a trip 6 hours + down to four hours when I could start putting things in cool. I general leave run overnight, hard frozen freezer overnight. This is on electric not sure but I would guess about the same for gas operation, keep my milk nice and cold.

I put outside fan blowing on the lower coil units, I may move to top of stack, as I get some noise when I set outside of the RV but really not an issue.

Good value for the moneyput inside fan wire down the drain for the refrigerator and you do not have to drill holes only two sheet metal screw to mount outside fans in place.

Happy camping
Ron

I went with a small squirrel cage fan:
Amazon: 75mm x 30mm 7530 12V Dual Ball Bearing DC Brushless Cooling Blower Fan.

It is only 0.15 amps or 3.6ah a day. The fan runs all the time on the same power as the light. I replaced the original light with a LED.
