It had the advantage of being a bit elevated above the floor, with some vent area below it the same size as that above. This model has only a small gap there. That said, there's plenty of room around it on all sides in the cabinet, and I had already installed a small 12v flushing fan at the top of the cabinet, to help the Novakool out. So far, the new unit is working fine and does not seem to have excessive run time or current draw. I can always go to a higher-cfm flushing fan if need be. The brand is Haier and this model seems to be exclusive to Lowe's.<br />Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-40315815388933134792014-06-05T16:47:29.564-04:002014-06-05T16:47:29.564-04:00Sean: I'm curious if you had to make any vent...Sean: I'm curious if you had to make any ventilation modifications for the new frig? At $400 I doubt it had any provision for front exhaust, most likely has coils on the back.<br />Do you have good air ciculation behind it? Also, you didn't mention the brand. That looks very neat, I may consider it if my 40 year old bites the dust.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159288023048032948noreply@blogger.com
