They started putting the condenser coils below next to the compressor ,on the newer fridges.

It has a fan that sucks cold from under one side of the fridge over the condenser coils and exhaust's directly onto the compressor, cooling it at the same time.
From that point it is forced back out the other side of the bottom.
I need to insulate between the condenser/ compressor and crisper floor. The back of the fridge where usually the condenser wrack would reside is smooth sheet metal,which stays cool, as does the top of the fridge.
When i finish with the insulation job, ill post pictures.
Tomorrow i am off to the Building material recyclers to get some thick foam insulation. I try to recycle when ever feasible.
