I see from the online Dometic literature that one or two fans is an option for at least my version of their fridge, the 1292. I think, but I'm not sure, that if the fan was shipped with this option the electrical schematic attached to the back pane of the fridge shows the fan connections.

Generally heat transfer increases with velocity. This is definitely true for the case of natural or forced (with a fan) convection of air on a heat exchanger.
