Adding fans for refrigerator
Hi again folks. I have added an inside the fridge fan that connects to the fins. I like that one a lot. Seems to help a bit to even out the temps in various parts of the fridge.
My fridge is in a slide so the bottom and top vents are both on the slide. As it was built there are two fans in that compartment, one near the bottom pointing up and one near the top pointing up (rather than out).
I bought a small but very powerful 110v fan (240 cfm). I placed it in top compartment pointing straight out with the vent cover not on. I wanted to see if I put a powerful fan up there pointing out, would it help the fridge cool faster and better.
I tried with the fridge running on A/C and with it running on propane.
The fan, which to the touch seemed to be expelling tons of hot air, didn't seem to make much different inside the fridge.
I started all this because even with the fridge on the coldest setting and testing during evening hours when the temps are high 60's to low 70's (Las Vegas) I could not seem to get the fridge colder than about 45f. and the freezer not colder than 15f.
It puzzles me that the fan would not be making any difference.
Any help understanding this or any suggestions on other small modifications I could make to help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
