Roger,
     Is it possible that your fan sensor is defective.
  Seems odd that it would run so often.  Mine hardly
ever runs.   Perhaps the sensor is kicking the fan on
too soon.  regards gary

I have been bothered lately by this same issue of the
fan running so
much (especially when the fridge isn't even running
but the cooling fins
are just hot because of the interior temp of the van
during the summer
heat) and running down the battery.  I have been
looking into ways to
at least have the fan only be able to come on when the
fridge is in use.
I did read about someone on the list who installed a
second, quieter,
fan and a switch that could be used to select between
the fans or, I
believe, deactivate both fans.

I was hoping to come up with some sort of relay
circuit to do the job
of cutting power when the fridge is off.  While I am
at it, I want to
wire the circuit so that when the fridge is running
off 110AC, the fans
would be powered by the outside power instead of the
battery (maybe a
12VDC wall transformer pluged into the outlet inside
the cabinent to the
right of the fridge).

Roger
