Title: Circulating Refrigerator Air
Post by: tedeboy on May 30, 2021, 12:07:11 pm
I've used this unit in my previous fridge and now in the new LD.
I like not only that it circulates the air well it also keeps the fins frost-free for the most part.
Good customer service also.

I heard others talk about add a fan or fans. I have to wonder why the manufacturers for the refrigerators don't put fans in them.

My $0.02 worth: It costs money to do that.  Ford Motor Company was aware of a safety issue with the 1974 Pinto and the gas tank.  They declined to invest in the necessary $4/unit to resolve it because of cost.    I think that total was less than the cost of the lawsuits.

Dometic won't be sued for not putting in a fan.

This may be a simple demand situation: the buyers (primarily motorhome manufacturers) think most of their customers will not care about the better cooling in extreme conditions, so why spend the extra money for something the does not increase sales? Especially since it can be retrofitted cheaply and easily.
