[C320-list] fridge fan

[Allan S. Field]

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

Get a battery powered one--it's in WM catalog---they worked great and even
out any 'hot spots' you might have.

I installed 2 of them on cl 2, I could turn my thermostat down to 2 or 3 for
the weekend (of course, an insulating cover I used helped as well) and keep
the fridge at 41F or so...less battery drain at the coldness level

Allan
about a year ago you were thinking of installing a fridge fan.
Did you end up doing it?

Any photos, efficiency and wiring comments?

Thanks
