Norcold Refrigerator Exhaust Fan Kit

Just a few thoughts on the kit.
1 Is this fan kit for the removal of heat
from the counter for the comfort of the
trailer occupant.
2 Does it help with the operation of the
refrigerator.
3 Do you run it, when occupying the
trailer or run it all the time.
4 The A/C needs the fan to work more
efficient, but the A/C is not used all the
time.
I have the fan kit and will be installing it,
with the idea I will use it for our comfort,
as our refrigerator works fine. But, will
change philosphy if I hear otherwise.

1. Yes, the fan kit removes the hot air, drawing it from under the cabinet and exhausting it through the vent. My A/C actually ran less during the 90*+ days last week after the fan kit was installed.
2. Yes, my fridge is now a constant 32*, not 37* to 42*, and I was in the process of dialing it in to be about 33*. This means the fridge compressor should be running less.
3. Use it during hot weather or whenever the counter is too warm. The hot air will be appreciated during the cooler months. Use it all of the time when the extra heat is uncomfortable. There is an on/off switch that is placed above the fridge so it can be turned off as needed. Add the step to turn it off when towing, if you normally turn the fridge off when towing your T@B.
4. The A/C 12V assist fan is only used when you use the A/C. The fan removes the hot air from the A/C cabinet and exhausts it out the roof vent (at least that's the way mine is).
Please install it. Your T@B is under warranty and you do want to make sure your fridge is working properly while under warranty.

If you have the 3-way fridge internally, this would apply to you. That fridge has a vent hole in the floor for incoming air and an exhaust vent out the passenger side forward of the door. Without the kit, heat builds up too much under the counter top. This kit draws this fridge heat out thru that side vent. The factory is installing it on all new T@Bs coming off the line and it's a free kit to current owners. You can have your dealer get it and install it or you can call the factory (ask for the fridge fan kit) and get it yourself.
