You might also want to consider a small battery operated fan such as the one made by Fridgemate. Can be placed directly under the cooling fins; quiet and compact. Runs for weeks on a couple of D cells. Substantially improves the cooling and provides a much more uniform temp within the refrigerator cabinet. Available at RV stores everywhere. -Wes > Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 21:35:41 -0500 > From: "Roy O." <keepsake@PANGEA.CA> > Subject: Interior Fridge Fan > Having an interior fridge fan sounds like a good idea so I've been > scouting around for a suitable unit to install inside the fridge in my > '87 Westfalia.
