RV Refrigerator Fin Fan

I have a Norcold, and the overall installation process is very simple. Simply connect the power wire to the back of your refrigerator via the drain hose. The power wires that need to be connected are clearly labeled in the directions that come with the kit. I didn't use the wire taps that came with the fan because they were designed for extremely thin gauge wire, which the fan doesn't have. Existing power lines, on the other hand, are much bigger. (I'm talking about the difference between 22 gauge and 12 gauge wires. ) I didn't want to install a line tap that would nearly cut the existing wires in half, so I used different taps I had on hand.

I installed this fan on my Dometic fridge in about an hour, and that was with me taking my time, because I chose not to follow the directions and instead connect the fridge power to my 12v constant power inside light. That was the most time-consuming part of the installation because I wanted to make sure I was connecting it to the constant 12v, which happens to be the red wire on my camper's fridge. I didn't want to make the mistake that some on here are bound to make and connect the power to the light switch side, which will only power the fan when the door is open, so I didn't do it. THE FAN APPEARS TO BE WELL BUILT AND REASONABLY QUIET. I haven't tried camping with it yet, but I believe it will aid the absorption process significantly. Because I am an HVAC ENGINEER, I am very familiar with the absorption chemical cooling process. ALL ABSORPTION refrigerators should have these fans as standard equipment. Air movement is essential to the cooling process. SO FAR, I THINK THIS IS THE BEST UPGRADE I'VE DONE TO MY PUMA FROM 2008.

Well, as far as I can tell, JC refrigeration owes me for the damages to my refrigeration light wiring caused by them trying to install the complete and total garbage as you can see from the pictures got 12 volts 12 volts going to the fan assembly except the fan does not work, they wasted my time which I did not have to waste, and now my wiring for my refrigerator light switch is compromised because of the cheap little plastic press connectors that they include and cut into your wiring, WORST! I work 14-hour days installing manufactured homes and am the sole caregiver for my 75-year-old mother, who has had two strokes. I paid a premium for AMERICAN MADE thinking it would mean better quality, but it doesn't. It would have been a better deal to buy the cheapest made in China junk!.

One of the four alligator clips (used to secure the unit to the frig fins) was broken, and the box appeared to have been stepped on. br>Recommend that the packaging be beefed up. Overall, it appears to have been well constructed - The wiring is in good condition. br>Because there were three other usable clips, I installed the unit in my RV refrigerator. br>The fans aren't too loud. For a twin fan setup, the air flow is lower than I expected. br>Over the next few weeks, I'll keep an eye on the performance and update this review. I'm not convinced that it can help with temperature control. br>***UPDATE*** leave the fan on for 24 hours. The temperature outside has reached 85 degrees (90 degrees inside the Camper Van), while the temperature inside the refrigerator has reached 31 degrees. As the sun moves from one side of the camper to the other, I anticipate a slight increase in temperature. In general, I believe that this fan will be beneficial. In extremely hot weather, a second circulation fan may be required to move cooler air from the bottom to the top of the refrigerator.

It attaches to the fins and plugs into your fridge's 12 volt light! Although I am an electrician, I believe this is something that anyone can do! Just remember to turn off your refrigerator breaker, and if you want to be extra safe, turn off both the main and refrigerator breakers! br>Semper Fi br>br>br>br>br>.

A QR code for watching a video is included in the instructions. While the video was informative, it neglected to mention the power connections on my refrigerator model. It's time to bring the video up to date!.

The product was extremely simple to set up. If at all possible, avoid using splice connectors in favor of proper wiring. br>br>I got this because the cooling fins in my refrigerator are located halfway up from the bottom. I have a freezer compartment in my refrigerator. Things kept on the door's top shelf did not get cold. When I tried to pick it up, it squished all over the place because I made the mistake of putting butter there. br>br>When I installed it, I was surprised to discover that the fans were blowing air into the fins rather than out into the fridge. Because the drip tray is right underneath and the freezer is right above, there isn't much room for air to escape from my fridge. I put a thermometer in the top shelf of the door and left it there overnight to see if it was working. It was still 58° up there (the fridge had been running for a few days). It's an improvement over the 65 it was before, but it's still not good enough. br>br>Because the fans were only hot glued into the frame, I simply removed them and flipped them over. After another day, the top shelf is now at 38 degrees. I'm in a good mood right now.

It's such a joy. This is the solution if your fins are iced over. If at all possible, keep it away from the light. Follow the instructions and go through the same hole as the drain hose, but don't go inside the drain hose. This is inconvenient and raises the risk of a short circuit. Anyway. buy it! You'll be glad you took the time to do so.
