Another heat pump food dryer

Decided to take a crack at this food drying thing since the garden is getting ripe... Took an old fridge and disconnected everything but the fan and the light. Then I sealed everything in the freezer with caulk so the fan would suck from the fridge better. Next I cut a hole below the crisper and mounted the evaporator and a drip pan. I drilled a bunch of holes in the crisper plate for condenser airflow and mounted the compressor and condenser on there and she was ready for a test run!
