My Fridge could be an oven how do i tell ?
Discussion
Went away this long weekend just gone. loaded the fridge with a lot of food for three days away. Expecting at least a cold beer once I had driven to the wilds of an old world war 2 airfield in Northamptonshire. It was hot when I got there but I could have done with out the hot toddy. Ok the fridge was packed a bit to much to be working properly I except that, but lukewarm beers REALLY....So a few people have said I could fit a computer fan extracting hot air out of the back space behind the fridge helping it to cool better. Any one got any thoughts or experience of doing this ?
I was away in France last weekend and it was blooming hot . Low and behold the fridge was not really cold again despite turning it on two days before we left. Whilst there I had a big 15" fan hoping to cool us down as it was 33 degrees. I turned the fan round one after noon to face the lower vent of the fridge outside. Will wonders never cease within a couple of hours the fridge was really cold and it saved all our food from ruining. I had the bonus of a ice cold beer
So now I know the fridge works really well it just needs an extra fan taking hot air out of the void behind the fridge.
What do I get, a small extractor or computer fans any help by those in the know please.

So I had an hour today and thought I would fit the new fridge extractor fan and a separate switch as we won't need it in the winter.
I just took the earth and live from top of the fridge and mounted the fan with self tappers blowing out. I used a 80mm computer fan but can add another if it needs it, will suck it and see as they say.
