Dave, appreciate the input and you are the second person to suggest this as a consideration. I am currently checking the difference between the top of the fridge compared to the lowest shelf, which is just above the heater that is angled forward. I am using two separate remote thermometers and hope to get a better idea of the difference. I would not think it would vary any more than a degree or so since it is a small confined space, but won't hurt to test, right?
Thanks again for your input!
Randy

Well, I just checked and swapped the remote sensors with the same result. Difference from top to bottom is less than 2F, so hopefully this means I will not really benefit with a fan. Also, comparing to the thermostat, my thermometer varied less than three degrees. I figure it is due to not using a real accurate remote thermostat. But, by monitoring the temps inside, I should be able to keep it within a couple degrees of my desired temp.
