I just pulled the fridge out, drilled a 1/8" hole in the top towards the
back (right above the evaporator) and fished the wires in through there to
the fan, which is mounted to the evap with cable ties.  (Some day I will
screw it into place for a more permanent installation)

A switch is wired to the front panel to turn this fan on and off.  I also
ran a sensor for an external thermometer  and suction cupped it to the side
of the fridge interior.
