- DIY Hack to make your Refrigerator work more efficiently and Better.
It is important to vent the heat that your refrigerator generates while trying to keep it cold. In this video, we will install 2 fans that are thermostatically controlled. This way as the heat rises the fans will work harder to get rid of the heat. This will allow for better efficiency in keeping your refrigerator cold.

Thanks for this video, I didn't know about these fans.
Thanks for watching. These work great. I use them in my electrical compartment also. Check out this video czcams.com/video/UimZDZl7sz4/video.html
Almost there Dave! 961 subscribers!! Wow that old fan was sure noisy!! Looks like a super upgrade!😁
True Jim. It was noisy. Sure like these fans and just the whole setup in general. Thanks for watching and supporting us. Hope to see you this winter in Yuma.
Another great repair video
Thanks Dennis. I am really pleased with this one. Very nice fans. Thanks for watching.
Great Job!!!!!
Thanks Ed. It has been working great for us. Thanks for watching.
Thanks!
Thanks for watching Susan and Thanks for the money. We can get our favorite ice coffees at McDonalds. We love the MCD app and especially their ice coffees.😄
The little computer fans are pretty handy! And quite a bit quieter 🥳
These have ball bearings. The old cheap ones didn't so they wore out fast. But they are still working fantastic. Thanks for watching.
I have 3 old computer fans mounted. Very quiet and they do help quite a bit in hot weather.
I enjoyed the good video and subscribed. I couldn't find the Amazon link to order the fans.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. The link is in the description but here it is: Cooler Guys Fan - amzn.to/38UYEUG
We are one of your subscribers and are traveling down to the Keys in Florida… I was wondering if you have stayed in Fiesta Keys or Sunshine Keys and which one you prefer?
We enjoy watching your videos!
Thanks for watching and being a subscriber Sue. We have not stayed at either of these resorts yet so sorry I can't comment to that. This summer is the first time we have ventured East and in this case made it as far as Pensacola Florida as far as Florida is concerned. It is a big country and will take a while if ever to get every where. Let us know what you decide. Maybe we could even include you on our channel to do the review for others.
I’m a part timer. When I go to store the RV. Is there a idea on how I can switch off the fan connection? Would I need to install a switch?
Thanks for watching. Well it depends on where you wire the fans into. It it is straight off the battery then yes. If it is off a fuse circuit that is shut off when you. place your rig in storage then no. It is up to you as to where you connect it. If you use a volt meter you should be able to find something that works how you want it too.
So if you unplug the fridge from the A/C outlet it will use 12V DC ?
Thanks
Thanks for watching. Maybe. In our case, our Fridge is a 3-way fridge. Gas, AC, and 12 Volt. If yours is a 3-way fridge then if you unplug the AC plug then it can only switch between propane or 12 volts and so yes, if you unplug it then 12 volts would be an option. However, newer units are starting to come with only 2 way or full residential. Full residential only runs on AC power. 2 Way can swap between propane or AC but they will not do 12 volts. So it depends. Good question.
Can you let me know what brand that fan is and the size
There is a link in the description to the fan on Amazon. It is from Cooler Guys. Thanks for watching and I hope that helps,.
How many watts does the fan use?
Thanks for watching. It is a variable speed fan set so anywhere from .01 to .35 amps or max 4.2 watts. Remember it runs faster when it is hot out so that is when you would draw up to 4.2 watts.
Why not use a piece of sheet metal vs cardboard?
You can use what ever you want as long as it can restrict the flow. Cardboard is easier to cut and less chance of getting cut. Metal is long lasting but my cardboard is doing a great job and it was free. If you are worried it might catch fire I guess that would be a reason to put metal there. But it is up above everything and should not be touching anything. Good question though.
DYI? You mean DIY?
Thanks Paul for watching and pointing that out. I have changed it.
