I need some collective advice concerning replacing the fan on the rear of
the fridge.  The fan on the rear works, but I decided to upgrade it in order
to move more air.  After reading the archives, I went with the suggestion to
go with one that moves more air and is quieter than the one Go-Westy sells.
I ordered the Silenx IXP-76-18 from Newegg.com and it should arrive today.

I am about to remove the fridge and clean it this weekend.  My question is,
Should I replace the original fan with this one, or should I just add this
one as an auxiliary fan?  Pros and cons that I see are that the original fan
is a little noisy--not worn out and making noise, just naturally noisy.  So,
if I replace with the new one, I will have more air movement with less
noise.  If I just add this one to the setup, I will have the same noise as
before but two fans might help cool the fins on the back a little better.
Although there is limited area for the air flow so two fans might not make a
difference.  Right now, I am not interested in making a modification to the
external water hookup so that route is not an option.

What do you think?  Should I just replace the old fan with the new one?
Has anyone added a fan to supplement the original one?
