Step 2Install on/off switch and indicator light
I used a DPST (double pole single throw) switch so I could turn 2 things on at the same time. I have the indicator light come on with both devices (fan & heater) but I think I'll rewire it to come on with the heater as I can hear the fan, but am not sure when the heater goes on and off.
I cut the inner plastic skin of the fridge with a knife, cut the foam with the hole saw then drilled the metal shell for the switch and the indicator light.
The switch is held in by a nut on it's shaft, the light clicks on to the inside of the indicator lens.
After mounting the switch etc. drilling through the foam from the back for the wires, I covered the switch back up and sealed the cut with some aluminum tape.
The wires run down to the base in back in a groove cut in the foam.
I covered the vent holes with some copper screen I had then duct taped the cover back on the foam on the back.
