Suck or Blow ? Compressor Venting

Hi Folks.

My Frigiboat fridge compressor is inside and at the back of a cupboard.

The compressor goes a bit weird when (i think) when it gets hot... Its sort of goes HoooooooErrrrrrrrrHoooooooooooErrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrr. Not the same sort of switching on and off sound as it makes when the batteries are too low.

Anyway, some time ago I put in a computer fan to SUCK the warm air out of the compartment.
The fan position does not align to the compressor at all. So sucking or blowing wont be right towards the compressor.

I have wondered what is better? A sucker or a blower?
If you were installing a fan what would you normall do?


Thanks My cold beer appreciates your thoughts


Mark
