The fan only comes on when the ambient is warm enough and the condensor
fin temperature on the back triggers the bi-metal switch. You want to
place your ear next to the vent on the left side of the stove/fridge
cabinet on a hot day. If you never hear it run you should consider
pulling the fridge to check as it may be dead long ago.

Subject: Westy fridge fan newbie question

I haven't seen a reference for a fan with regard to the fridge in my '87
westy - anyone out there know if they all have a fan? I've never heard
it turn on...
