Chore day in Englewood, FL
I spent the better part of the morning
gathering up papers for my tax return.
The weather was so nice I took a bike ride around the park and then
decided to spend the afternoon reading.
AAHHH.
Monte felt more inclined to do some overdue
chores.
Fan-Refrigerator Ventilation
Replacement
Remove old auxiliary fan and discard.
Prepare a new 7” computer fan available at any
computer store-Staples-Best Buy-Etc.
You might have to be a little ingenious at
mounting the new fan.
New fan in place with quick connectors in place.
(taken from old computer Parts)
Secure fan in place.
Plug in power connectors.
Finished fan installation.
This fan will increase air flow up and help
increase the efficiency of the cooling coils-especially in hotter climates.
The original fan was bought in camping world to
aid in cooling but the supplied fan failed after -months and a computer fan
was substituted and replacement parts and now more available.
Good luck.
Any questions just ask on our blog.
