Stir Plate in fridge?

[dmaraio]

Has anyone had luck using a stirplate inside of a fridge? It is pretty hot this time of year (around 80 degrees). I will be starting an Oktoberfest lager next week and want to get a starter going around optimal temperature(around 55 degrees). Anyone have luck using a stir plate inside a fridge or chest freezer? I know that in some older fridges humidity will condense on the coils and cause dripping. I guess what I am asking is, is it safe? Are there any other alternatives?

My two methods:
1. Modified fridge with two stir plates.
2. Enclosed magnetic stirrer with Peltier device.
Not the best solution for our El Paso summer temps.

I know that in some older fridges humidity will condense on the coils and cause dripping.

No big problem for our low humidity climate.
I equipped my setups with condensate returns.
