Refrigerator Vent Fan
Our refrigerator works well but not great, especially when it’s above 90F (which in Texas is quite often). Even on those hot days the freezer works well, just the refrigerator section is not a cold as we would like. We decided to add a vent fan to help improve the airflow over the coils to see if that improves things. When we know more we will post and update.

We installed the fan to the wood frame so it is very secure. Ideally, you would mount the fan below the coils and push air through them. We could not see an easy way to do this so instead mounted the fan above the coils to pull air through.
In this shot you can see the fan, wire bundle and small solar panel which provides the power to the fan.
Bug screening put back in place, don’t want to forget this.
All done, the vent cap is put back on. Make sure you position the solar panel so that the cap does not cover it.
