The fan was fairly easy to install, I'm by no means an electrician. First, my configuration will be a little different because I am going to use the brewer's edge thermostat for total control.
This is what I did.
I took off the existing fan, just take off the guard and the fan will unplug form the socket. I bought the fan in the link store. I got all my crap from directron.com, I had never heard of them before but got the stuff in 3 days.
I connected the adapter and the fan screws right into the adapter (make sure the air is blowing in the correct direction). Note: verify the fan ****s before everything is installed. The fan comes with a 4-pin connector but it won't fit into the existing fans socket. So to connect the fan you will need to cut off the connectors and use some electrical tape to make the connection. That should be it, the fan should be controlled by the Danby controller and the fan does move some air. - I did not do this, I bought a ac/dc adapter from Best buy and I am planning on controlling the fan through the digital controller so the fan will come on with the compressor. I could just plug it into a wall outlet and have it run continuosly but I don't think I'll need that. Also, with the adapter, I can choose different voltages which varies my fan speed. The fan is pretty noisy so I think this maybe a good idea.
Finally, I bought a bilge hose form lowe's and connected one end to the fan guard with a zip tie and routed it up the 1-1/2" hole into the tower. A 2'-0" piece is plenty long. by doing this you won't have to buy a costly blower. My tower is standard without insulation was starting to sweat last night while i had it on so it was ****ing. May have to add some insulation.
Hopefully this weekend I'll be finished and can post some pictures.
Sorry for all the rambling, hope some of this helps.
