Heritage 640 FRIG COOLING
Posted: Sat Jun 25, 2016 4:21 am
I have found on hot days the refrigerator on our Heritage 640 (two door) does not perform satisfactorily as the only cooling is provided by convection flow. I have now fitted four computer fans, each measuring 120mm x 120mm.Two are fitted to the lower vent sucking the air in and over the condenser and two fitted to the top vent blowing out. This creates a good flow of air and the result was very encouraging.
With the fans off and the thermostat on high the best result was +7 degrees. With the fans activated the temperature dropped to +2 degrees with the thermostat on high BUT I was then able to turn the thermostat to the half way mark and the temperature remained on +4 degrees. The fans were wired through a switch so the fans could be deactivated.
