Subject:Fridge fan, turbo version?

Well, not quite, but read on....the van I just finished working on needed a
fridge fan. No time to order one, and being not impressed with airflow from
computer fans led me to search the drawers of the hobby parts at the local
Radio Shack. There I found a slightly larger 12 volt motor ($3.50) that
bolted directly in place of the original, just a slight ream in the fan
blade hole was all that was required. This new motor kicks a**!! It churns
up quite a little breeze over the fins of the cooling unit. Noticeably more
'vacuum cleaner' sound than the original, but not really louder. Cycles
on/off faster too. Try it, if you need a new fan.
