Hi,

My fan packed it in a year ago. I first thought it was the temp sensor
which is attached to the fins on the outside back of the fridge, but it
tested ok (ohm meter and a lighter test). Turned out to be the fan
motor itself, the brush holder had broken and its is not really
repairable. I substituted a small 12V muffin fan mounted via an "L"
shaped bracket attached to the original fan bracket holes in the
fridge.

Testing an replacement done, of course, with fridge on bench.
