[C320-list] MKII Refrigerator Ventilation.

[Pat Moriarty]

If your coils are facing a wall like mine are you need to find a way 
to clean them. After years of use they develop quite a bit of trash 
on them and just like a home refrigerator the efficiency goes down 
but we just can't stand a loss as it means more  run time and battery drain.
