Do you run your fridgador? If so, do you have condensation?

Yes... but here's the thing though...

The fridge has vents _all_over_! On the back and the sides. To vent and circulate the air for the cooling system. So, when the unit is kept off, these vents are just open to the ambient air and must wreak havoc on trying to get the inside stable... it's just not a closed system as I originally thought when I bought it!!!

I am trying to work around this by taping over all vents - with the unit - to try and achieve a near air-tight system inside. This includes plugging the drain hole. I've also hooked up my oasisII _without_ the humidifier part - just the fan - to circulate the air.

I did the fan last night. I taped up the vents almost a week ago now. The RH this morning when I checked it had gone UP... from 69% to 70%!!! NOT COOL!

HELP!!!!

So, I plugged the fridge in... and the RH went from 69 to 74% in a matter of 2 hours!!! The temp did drop from 67 to 62, so I know the cooling is working.

Im thinking this is from the intake pulling in the ambient air in the basement, which is fairly damp. I do have a dehumidifier in the room, but Im not sure how well it works.

Can I expect/hope that the humi will stabilize and come down in RH with the unit running for a while? If so, how long will this take? Will my stash survive? Should I give up now and unplug it???

If my cigars explode from a bit humidity spike, I will cry. I will, I swear.

HELP PLEASE!!!
