    Do you have the fan blowing into the freezer area or extracting from the freezer area? Also do you have a picture of the shoud around freezer that has the hole. How did you do that part?

    Lovely Ep, The motor panel switch board that feeds power to the Compressor on most of the fridges. has different letters the one with the letter F it stands for Fan, if you got power from it the to run that little fan, The compressor would start, then power goes to the F and will run the Fan and when the compressor stops so does the Fan

    I did this with a 90mm fan with it blowing in the hole I made and with the fridge set on 2, I am only getting about -1 to -3 in the freezer. Is your setup blowing in or out from the freezer ?

    Just picked up a new (used) vehicle with an upright fridge in a canopy, this vid might come in very helpful. Should help keep beers nice and cold for after rides & ski trips 🤙🍻 cheers

    Very Cool.. Im a little nervous about drilling through the fridge.. but this hack looks well worth the effort.

      Hey thanks mate. I filled the entire hole with silicone. That part of the fridge is actually pretty thin

      It is going great i don’t leave the fan on all the time, just when we are away camping with the fridge fully packed

    Should have hooked the fan to the 12v supply to to compressor so it works when compressor is working. It will basically self regulate and be alotbmore efficient

    How’s this mod going? Are you finding the freezer still freezes? And do you find the fridge not running for as long?

      Going well mate, has helped to stop the condensation in the freezer.

  • @michaelcaiafa3643

    Thinking having that towel under the freezer will block the cold air from dropping into the fridge cavity. Do you have it in there all the time?

  • @evil17

    Good job. You could run a wire from the condenser fan to power it when the compressor is going, or add in a two way switch so you can have it on, off, or with condenser fan only.
    Another guy added a temp controller as well as the fan so it would only come on at preset temps keeping the fridge space more precisely temp controlled.
    Have you noticed any deviation in ur freezer space temp? TFS. Cheers

    What size fan did you install

      Im pretty sure this one was just a 40mm fan. Its all it needs

  • @pauls3451
    @pauls3451 Рік тому

    Where you have mounted the fan on the side of the freezer, is it just attached to the side or did you make a hole in the freezer wall to draw out cool air?

  • @blake9358
    @blake9358 Рік тому

    Won't work, your fridge has to be manually defrosted, it has nothing to do with air circulation, especially in an 85 litre fridge

      It’s not defrosting the fridge. It’s stopping it from icing up 😂
