[C320-list] fridge fan

[Monte B.]

Allan,

Could you elaborate a tad more on your fridge fan install, as in what did
you use for a mount and are they together or on opposite sides of the box?

Bruce - no holes drilled to run wire for fridge fan.  I snaked the wire
through the chase for the coolant line/temp dial.  I have on my To Do List
(actually, Good Intentions List) to run a 2nd fan like Adam did (never
thought I'd use those words in a complete sentence!!!). - Allan

Allan, 

The Admiral likes your idea.  How did you run the wire from the fan to the
panel?  I assume you drilled a hole somewhere in the side of the fridge?

Bruce - I installed a computer-cooling fan on the aft bulkhead just to port
of the ice box.  It works GREAT - I only defrost once per season now.  I
wired it directly to the fridge switch on the panel so that when the fridge
is on, the fan is on (24/7 from March thru November).  I had the 3 of the
battery ones Orlando talks about but they were not as effective as the
hard-wired, computer-cooling fan blowing air directly across freezer plates
the plus the little batteries would die.- Allan
