Fractional HP shaded pole fan motors have a very low efficiency.  One or two small 12V .1A DC muffin fans would save quite a few watts.  This would be quite useful if using a small 200-300W inverter.  A simple capacitor drop diode bridge could power it on AC and provide a little power factor correctionat the same time.

Very good call.
The tiny fan in my fridge says 40W and doesn't move much air.

Can someone get me the part number for that thermostat?

I just bought one for a customer's reach in.

White Rodgers 1609-101 will do the job. About $50-60
