297RSTS Dometic Fridge - Does it have a fan?
I just took delivery of my 2020 297RSTS a few weeks ago. We've finally hit the 90s here in Wisconsin. I was in the camper this afternoon and suddenly a loud annoying noise came from the fridge. It was humming around the fridge walls. Stepping outside to see if I could hear anything different, it sounded like rushing air from a fan. Ran for maybe 5 minutes, even when I turned off the fridge. Does the Dometic have a built-in fan that might run based on temperature? I was in the camper for about 90 minutes and only heard it that once (just after completing a dimmer install for the overhead and awning lights). It was definitely in the fridge cabinet, so can't think of anything else it could be.

Yes there is a fan on the back of the unit , outside. Having a fridge in the slide this is needed for air movement across the coils. The fan will be located between the upper and lower vent covers.
They are a little noisy sometimes but needed , some have added more when using in the hotter climates.

Thanks. My previous Norcold didn't have that.
