I used a pair of computer fans mounted directly to the upper grille, used the lowest amperage fans I could find. Having the baffle allows for lower load fans. Note that I installed a disconnect plug in the power line to allow removal of the grille when needed for maintenance.

Another smart add is a wireless thermometer for the fridge and freezer so you can know what's going on before you open and find spoiled food.

The whole project cots $36 in parts for the fans/cooling and $20 for the wireless thermometers.

Could you provide a source for the fans? Thanks.

Everything except the dryer duct piece came feom Amazon. The PDF has the details. The fans do come in a larger size that also fits on the grille, but I chose the smaller one to reduce power draw.
