Hi all, we have a Norcold reefer in our coach with the automatic ice maker. I am thinking of adding a computer style fan to the fins in the lower box like what I had in our last coach. But this reefer doesn't seem to have a switch that turns the interior light on and off. The last reefer was a Dometic and it had a switch that I was able to wire the fan to. It ran all the time by coming off the hot side of the light. Anyway, my question is, do any of you fine folks have a circulation fan in your reefer? I hate the ones that use 4 D batteries as the batteries are always dead. I have a bunch of old computer fans so I thought I'd add one or two to the inside of the box. Any ideas? How does the light come on when the door is opened? Is the switch in the hinge assy.?

The fan in mine has the power wire ran thru the same hole as the drain tube. The instructions actually say to run the wire thru the drain tube, I just chose to run it next to the tube. Then its connected to the 12v power leads for the fridges control box. Theres a switch on the fan itself to turn on/off.

Thanks so much. I did just find out that the interior light is on all the time as long as the reefer is turned on. It's an LED so it draws very little. I'll jus tie into that power wire and let the computer fans run too. Thanks again.
