Thumbs up Improved Natural Convection For Fridge

With temperatures over 100 deg F on the hill west of Albuquerque, it’s known that natural convection air flow through the (in my opinion) poorly-designed refrigerator panel really starts to struggle. Had frozen blueberries in the freezer melt yesterday and WHAT A MESS that made!

There really isn’t a lot of space to put a fan inside to help cool the coil, but it appears that this method of allowing more natural convection air flow up through the coils is showing promise: just as hot today as yesterday, but the freezer seems to now be able to keep things FROZEN!

Having dealt with heat transfer and fluid flow issues for decades, I COULD suggest a better panel design to Thor...but they don’t want to hear from a crusty old desert rat like me. 😄
