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.
