compact fridge sides too hot

[nipplethewhale]

how do i cool the sides of my mini fridge? i am living in a dorm with only 2 fans and no ac. do i just wet a shirt and drape is over the fridge?

should be a radiator type grill on back of the fridge make sure its clean and not shoved right up against the wall to block air from getting to it.

also if you can get a wood or metal short box to put the frige on top to get air flowing under the compressor.

Hi
If that is a mini fridge then it uses Peltiers for cooling,these use the walls of the fridge as the hot side and so they will get warm,all you can do is improve the ventilation to the sides of the fridge though this will not reduce the amount of heat entering your room.
