FridgeAir — Smart Fridge Fan Controller
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Does your motorhome, caravan or campervan fridge struggle in hot weather? Compressor fridges work hard in summer — and without proper airflow the compressor overheats, efficiency drops, and lifespan shortens.
FridgeAir fixes that.
It monitors the temperature inside the compressor cavity and chimney behind your fridge using precision digital sensors and automatically runs cooling fans when they're needed — at exactly the right speed. Quiet when cool, powerful when hot. You'll never think about it again.
No app. No Bluetooth. No setup. Just plug it in and it works.
What FridgeAir does:
- Monitors top and bottom fridge compartment temperatures continuously
- Runs fans automatically when the compressor area gets hot
- Variable fan speed — ramps up with temperature, whisper quiet when cool
- Protects your leisure battery — fans cut automatically if voltage drops too low, restart when charging resumes
- Single sensor mode — works perfectly with just one sensor if your installation makes routing two sensors difficult
- Green LED heartbeat confirms the unit is alive and working
- Double flash warning when battery voltage is marginal — charge soon
- Boot self-test — both fans run briefly at startup to confirm everything is working
- Protects PCB with MG Chemicals 419D acrylic conformal coating for moisture and vibration resistance.
