Hey guys, I've got a quick thumbs-up/thumbs-down kind of question for the more experienced wineador tinkerers. I have an Edgestar 28 (manual here: http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aabh_prd/on/demandware.static/Sites-ES-Site/Sites-ES-Library/default/v1333540377873/support/manuals/TWR282S_ownersmanual.pdf)

I recently noticed that the humidity at the top and bottom of the fridge varies by quite a lot (60% at the bottom 75%) at the top. Turns out the middle is just about perfect, so I'm thinking I just need to put some fans in there to move the air around. When I first installed the fridge I ended up removing an LED light at the top of the inside of the unit because it was just taking up space. That left me an unused power line on the inside of the fridge, which I'm thinking I can use to power a couple of fans. Here's a few pictures of the setup.

In the 4th pic from the top, the fans are spinning just fine but the shutter speed on the camera was too fast to reflect that. Is that an acceptable way to power those fans? I appreciate any and all input; I don't mind being called an idiot if this is a horrible idea.

Thumbs up on Fans, Thumbs up on nice Chasidor Drawers, Thumbs down on fan size. It think those are overkill, especially for a winedor and will take up too much space. All you want to do is move some air around, not constantly though, on a sequence.

I run 3 - 1in. x 1in. fans that are powered through a timer set to run for only 10 minutes every hour. You don't want to have constant moving air, and you really don't want a real powerful force of moving air. I would get the smaller fans (very cheap online and on ebay), and have them connected to a timer. If you can't set up the timer with your led lighting wires, you can PM me and I can describe what you need to get to do it another way.
