The insulation is on the rear wall of the fridge, to reflect heat from the coils. I hope my post didn't suggest that I put it on the kitchen wall behind the fridge?
I have some
data from an experiment I did during the winter, with ambient kitchen temperatures, so I'll try to repeat that when the right time comes. Maybe by then I'll have the small fan hooked up and will test the difference with/without the extra draft.
I just checked that the compressor takes its sweet time to cool down, I measured 32°C over an hour after turning off. It probably nevers cools down to room temperature before cycling on again. And during all that time it is radiating heat back there...
