The real figures are more like 40-50 degree differential. Keeping the heat from building up behind the fridge is essential in hot weather. A simple approach for an outside exhaust fan is to use the Westy city water hookup door. Since use of the city water connection is foolish anyway, just remove and plug the inside hose to it. Then get a small computer fan. Cut out the guts of the hookup and attach the fan to the back of the assembly. Wire it in with a switch and when you want the fan on just prop the access door open and turn on the switch.
