Fred - I too have a thermostatic controlled spillover fan, but that's a different animal. I have two of those circulation fans in pipes -- one in the fridge, one in the freezer. It moves air around inside each box, pulling the cold air from the bottom and shoving it out the top. It helps to k

Right. I actually ran the wire for the circulation fans down past the compressor, then back up to the breaker panel. The Danfoss control module has spade connectors labelled 'fan' which normally controls the fan for air cooled systems, and I thought that it might be more energy efficient to o

Wally Thanks. Now I know why I couldn't see how the box was screwed together! I never considered the screws might be under the formica. I'm not ready to re-do formica so cans of insulation will have to do. I like the idea of running the wire for a fan now. It could go to the same breaker as the

Yes, we make ice. We also cram as much frozen stuff into our little freezer compartment as we can, and we can keep stuff frozen by keeping it directly under the freezer box. We can be independent of stores for up to two weeks this way and still eat quality steaks. Most of the places we like to go a
