I think it would be better to vent the airspace behind the fridge
rather than introduce air into it. I don't use my city water hookup
and I've often thought that a tiny computer fan in place of the
hookup might do the trick. You'd need to prop the little city water
door open a bit when using it. I also have the GoWesty pump and fan
upgrade which is a MUCH better fan and cools the fins much better.
Really quiet. Bottom line is that nothing is going to keep the Dam-
etic cool when the temps get up past the 80s. I could sell you my
fridge and all my upgrades later this year when I get a Norcold... = )
