To all the Bros and Siss who had the same setup with the chiller in the cabinet.... just wanna check with you all

whether do you ON the Fan 24x7?

I intend to put a timer. Before I set the timing on the timer most ppbly I will monitor the chiller kick in 'habbit'.

If you using external temp Controller, hook up fan to the controller. Chiller on, fan on . Chiller off, fan off. If fan noisy, I doubt you want 24/7 unless silent .. But still electricity bills counts.

IMO, its better to leave the cabinet fan on 24/7 because you won't know when the chiller will kick in. It can get pretty warm in the cabinet.

Ok Bro... noted..... thanks...
