Refrigerator Cooling Fan Installation
External and Internal Refrigerator Cooling Fans - UPDATED
- Recent update - helps in +90 degree days. I added two small blower fans. The two small Blower fans are held in place with velcro. I made a small wiring harness with water proof connectors. Wires have Teflon insulation. Fans can be easily removed or unplugged. Fans are controlled by the same circuit used for upper exhaust fans.
- I added two 12 volt external fans in the chimney behind the refrigerator, to assist cooling the evaporation tubing on those hot days. Fans are a manufacturers option with these refrigerators. The fans I installed are controlled by an STC-3008 digital circuit and probes, A LED display shows the sensed temperatures. I removed the cover above the refrigerator coils. I then mounted two 12 volt fans and covered with screen. Wires are Teflon jacketed and water proof connectors are used. I fished the wires under the refrigerator and into the compartment behind the access door. I reinstalled vent cover and sealed with Dicor
- As an experiment, with the temperature readings I discovered removing the access panel behind the refrigerator made a small difference in temperatures. When I removed the cover on the roof, temperatures even dropped lower. I did replace covers, I am considering using Reflectix to help insulate externally from solar thermal gain.
- I am still experimenting with two fans and placement inside the refrigerator. I fished wires for the probe and fan through the condensation drain, and routed to area behind the access door.
- NOTE - Dometic advised that internal fans are not necessary, but usage is up to the owner. They do sell a fan kits to increase air flow inside the refrigerator. It makes sense to circulate are inside the refrigerator, but temperature measurements didn't show a benefit, and using larger fans showed an increase in temperature, probably due to heat the fan motors create.

- NOTE - SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH 12 VOLT ACCESSORIES FAILING DUE TO OVER VOLTAGE. CHECK SPECS AND VERIFY 12 VOLT ITEMS CAN WITHSTAND VOLTAGES OVER 14 VOLTS, it may be necessary to add a voltage regulator if voltage exceeds maximum for attached 12 volt devices. This seems to happen more often when solar charge controllers are connected to the batteries. More information at: https://youtu.be/fbWuiF2JSXs See 12 volt regulator below
