wouldn't freeze, bottom of freezer still cold, but middle and higher areas were warm and everything was thawing out.
very simple,started by turning off the power to that outlet (in breaker panel) then removed the 3 bottom screws, 2 side screws and 3 top screws (all 8 screws are Phillips head) in order to remove the panel. Disconnected the motor (unplugged it) and removed the 2 screws holding the motor in place to remove the motor. I installed the Fan on the new motor, and remounted it in place , reconnected it and replaced the panel and all 8 screws. (and the side seals push back into place easily after you replace all the panel screws.
Very easy, it took less than 15 minutes to make repairs and freezer was back in operation and back to below freezing temps in less than an hour.

Defrost Timer
The old defrost timer started making a screeching noise (probably bearings going out). The replacement part was a cinch to install. When I initially spoke to a PartsSelect person, they said the part number I gave them was not consistent with my old '94 Tappan Freezer. They were able to still find the proper replacement part number. The video that was on-line helpful also.

Copper lines leaking freon
Removed the inside evaporator coil to do inside solder job, use torch to heat solder joints on the outside drier in order to remove it and install new drier. Soldered Heat exchanger line to drier and 1/4” copper line to compressor. Wrapped with new insulation wrap. Pulled a vacuum on system and then charged with 4.4 ounces of 134a freon. Works like a champ again!

Freezer not cooling due to icing up of coil.
The timer in this older unit is clearly exposed at the back of the freezer underneath the freezer compartment. It is attached with two Phillips head screws. After the screws are removed, the timer can be unplugged and the new one plugged in. The new timer has an extra flange to allow it to be used on more than one model of freezer. In order to mount the timer in this unit, you have to remove the extra flange by carefully cutting it away from the timer body, in similar fashion to what's depicted in the online video. This will allow you to mount the new timer to the mounting plate using the two screws from the old timer.

Freezer door stopped opening fully
I recommend completing steps 1-3 before purchasing your part, so as to avoid my mistakes.
1) Unplug the freezer and clear whatever is currently in the door. This fix is fast enough you don't need to empty the whole freezer.
2) Use a socket wrench to remove the two bolts holding the top hinge to the freezer. Once they're off, the hinge can pulled up and off.
3) Lift the door free from the bottom hinge. Important Note! Check that it's the door closing cam that's broken, and not, for example, the bearing that seats with the door cam that is listed on the freezer part of the schematic, and not the door part. If you're a smarty pants, you order(ed) the right part. If you're me, you continue with this tutorial but still need to order another part to complete the fix. Don't be like me.
4) Using your philips-head screwdriver, remove the screw holding the remnants of the old door cam to the bottom of the door. Pull out the old cam and insert the new one. Rescrew.
5) Grab your extra person put of your toolbox and have them help you guide the door back onto the bottom hinge. The door is not heavy but no one wants to play blind Battleship while your freezer contents actively defrost.
6) Stick the top hinge back into place and reattach the bolts.
7) PLUG YOUR FREEZER BACK IN! And also check that the door works now.
