Has anyone used this fan with the newer side venting firdges from Norcold? If so, did it help?

I used it with a side vent Dometic and it has made a big difference. I placed it by the upper vent right below the condenser fins.

I installed one of these fans last November while we were in Florida, it appears to be a good Fan, it's thermostatically controlled and in my opinion it does help. Along with this fan I installed a fan that you put in the fridge (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Norcold-Refrigerator-Deluxe-Fan-with-Grill-to-INCREASE-cooling-inside-/390661070734) and between the two it eliminated the ice build up on the fins in the rear of the fridge. Still the freezer doesn't keep ice cream hard!!

We have a 2014 Bighorn with side vent fridge in slide out. Had a few issues in real hot weather keeping things cold. This Valterra fan fixed our problem. No room to install on the exit vent (first choice on where to place fan), so I installed on intake vent and things are working very well at this time. Good luck. Jerry

I have used a fan in a vertical vent but not a side vent. Recent research into RV cooling units indicates the side vents do not have as good an air flow due to loss of some of the natural convection. The side vent installations that I have seen use two fans side by side. There are muffin/pancake fan kits available with two ball bearing fans that are more expensive but are better quality and use a remotly mounted thermal switch. Good luck.

Hi J.Carrol, the side fans are 120mm. There are two fans locations, so you can put 2 120mm fans. Since they are not filtered, I would suggest using them as exhaust fans or you will pull dust into the system. If you get a filter that covers the area, then use the fans as an intake. The case comes as a negative pressure setup. I changed my case to a positive pressure setup. I also had custom filters made and now use the top 200mm fan as an intake and everything exhaust out the rear now. The case is great, however, I never like the fans on the side. I replaced my side window. Here is a video I did showing that in case you ever get interested. I personally think it looks better without the side fans. The system is much much quieter now also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNVp0_7dy4Y

It works for me with a Can Max Fan Mixed Flow Inline Fan, 6-Inch 334 Cubic Feet Per Minute fan #340410. The speed is adjustable and the noise isn't to bad compared to the flow it gives. I have left it on all the time to circulate air and equalize the temperature in the that room compared to the remainder of the house.

Nope had same problem once went to aaa wave.com and ordered a 3000 rpm fan shaved the little plastic off new fan plug and it will work back perfectly. I would just switch one intake to exhaust and have front open using a small fan blowing in there until repaired

i guess, i have the cm h61 mid tower, and i had to remove the side fan. my side fan is 14mm i think thats why.

No, I am sorry I do not. As I have had my fan for no more than 4-5 months, it is still functioning without issue. Best of luck to you!

Since the vent for this unit is in the back and the fan speed switch is in the front, you probably could turn the Antec unit around so the vent is blowing out the front. However the switch fan speed switch would then be a bit hard to reach if you stack anything on top. I just leave mine on all the time so if you do that and take into consideration that the power adapter plugs into the back too, it would work fine.

I have the motor in mine, I think it helps, but I have it mounted in my enclosed snowmobile trailer. It is not loud. The thermostat that is part of the fan helps out a lot I think that is my fav part of the fan.

Actually, I was thinking about my bedroom fan..it oscillates..the one pictured is on my desk at work.i am not sure if it oscillates or not.. I know you can turn the vents. I will look when I go to work..if you still want to know.

I ordered this as a replacement for the original fan that wore out. My recommendation is to take a good look at your current fan. If the screws line up the same, it should work. I have a 4" fan housing and it fit great with one exception- I had to remove the flaps on the inside of the vent to make it fit. Overall I'm very happy with the results. The fan is much better than the original. I hope this helps! PJ

Yes we have used ours for about 6 months and it works fine. Our vent was open to the outside before and we had wind noise, with this, no more wind noise. Our fans are fairly strong air flow but I think any exhaust fan would open it for venting.

Actually, the vents might be on the side. I don't recall exactly. But you should be able to see the fan blades through said vents. I'll bet they're no longer turning.

its been a few months since i did my install but if you read all the specs of the fan you should be able to determine id its going to fit. i luv my replacement fan. it makes much less noise and is more powerful in getting rid waste smell.

I have the dual fans (4000 cfm) ... using to cool a 355 SBC they are quality units, work fine, however, they draw a lot of juice and are noise.I had to go to a 140 amp. alternator to carry the load. I'm going to put seperateswitches so I can run 1 fan on cool days and 2 only when needed to drop the loadand noise. engine mounted in a '74 260Z roadster conversion with tight engine bayso cooling, even with an alum. rad. and ceramic coated headers a task. Fans did the trick.

This one worked great for me. The lower fan settings would not work before putting this in. It should fix your problem.

Not significantly. If you are looking for a quiet solution and are somewhat electrically savvy, try wiring two fans in series and ditch the speed controller. I found this configuration was much quieter (practically silent!) than using the fans on the low setting of the speed controller, and still moved a surprising amount of air. The speed controller is not a very "elegant" design, and causes the fans to emit a buzzing or humming noise at low speed.

Just use the provided fan and I'd you dislike it then you should get a new one. I'm currently using the stock fan.
