Yeah, impressive compared to many of today's fridges, unimpressive compared to its predecessor the CK. The compressor is working harder than it ought to, against condenser coils that are warmer than they should be. The money savings would be negligible, but the machine will be happier and last longer with a fan. Yep I've been thinking the same thing... I'm checking the power usage one more time today and I will post the results later today.... I reset everything yesterday to see how much it uses now that everything is cold... Then I'm going to fix the fan... That way we can see if there is any difference... Also the condenser is almost never even warm...

Ok I just got back from checking and it has used only .63kwh in 24 hours. I will let you know what it is after I install the new fan...

Approximately what we're they for this run? It'll be real interesting to see what the difference is with the fan on.

Ok I checked the temp of the compressor and the condenser several times after it cycled... The average temp of the compressor was 89f and the condenser was 91f... I'll let you know what it is after I change out the fan...

I'll let you know what it is after I change out the fan... What was the temperature of the room it was in, as well as inside the cabinet? Those provide important context.

The room was 68f and the inside temp of the box was 20f at the top shelf of the freezer part.... I always look to see what the temp is in the room because it is always so nice in there....
