Subject:Dometic fridge (external) fan replacement...

Hi,

The fan on my Dometic fridge started squealing quite loudly when it
starts up.  Not so great in the middle of the night ;)

I am just going to replace it with a computer fan.  I've got a few old
PC's that I can butcher.  I figure I can cut up the metal from a power
supply to make a suitable bracket.  Looking at the orientation of the
existing fan, I'll have to make a 90 degree bracket which isn't too
challenging if I use a power supply to cut up.

I can't be the only person that's had to do this.  What size fan (cfm?)
did you use?  What RPM did you use?  I'm going to try to find a fairly
quiet fan, but really don't know what the cooling capacity should be.

Thanks,
Steve Williams
