Ventilation fan behind fridge? (3 Viewers)

Morning Funsters
Has anyone fitted a fan behind the fridge for extra ventilation in hot weather? Are they successful?
Just out of curiosity and any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

Thanks for all the help and advice, we have now fitted twin fans behind top vent and set the switch to 'auto' - just waiting for some warm weather, hopefully it will be better at the end of the month when we go to France.

Where do you fix the temp sensor?

To work correctly , the temp sensor must be touching the condenser tube on the heating element side as arrowed in pic .

Mine are fitted behind the grille, I have wondered if they would obstruct flow when not running, but I can tell how effective they are when running just by feeling the heat flow through the grille. What sort of power do they consume?

Between 100 and 400ma each depending on manufacturer. So not much.
