Fridge started making a loud racket. Condenser Fan Blade then disintegrated to dust and pieces. The plastic had degraded significantly.
The repair itself total time was quick and easy. Since the original fan blade blew apart, it was only a matter of putting the new one on in it's place. This can be done by feeding the blade between the cowling and Condenser coil and applying pressure to get it on the shaft.
If your fan is still on the shaft, simply push it off and extract it the same way. Then place the new one on the shaft.
In my case, since the part would take a couple days to get, and I had food both in the fridge and the freezer, I removed and unplugged the Condenser Fan Motor and the cowling frame and temporarily spliced a small fan I had into the line for the condenser motor. This kept the fridge working long enough to get the replacement part.
Side note. Direction of airflow is towards the Compressor, and draws air across the Condenser coils.
Hope this helps someone. :)

One blade broke from condenser fan
The part i recieved, from parts select was a larger in circumfrence (<1/4) than the original. However i was not aware of this until after i treid to repair it.
I removed the broken fan from the condenser. This was very sipmle.
When i pluged the refridgerator back in to the outlet the fan tried to start up but soon began to make aloud noise, due to there not being enough clerance.

Plastic Door Handle Broke
Two screws held the top of the handle to the door and one set screw held the bottom of the handle to the door. All I needed was a phillips screw driver and an allen wrench. It took less than 10 minutes.

The new motor mount screw holes were not threaded.
I had to tap the screw holes with a 8/32 tap so that the screws would not bind.

Handle had broken at the top where horizontal part joins vertical
The repair only involves two sets of fasteners. I am a very unskilled female repairwoman and found the top two screws easily undone with a Phillips head screw driver. I did not understand how to undo the bottom fastener which was a circle with an empty center, so I took the new handle to the local hardware store where a nice employee found me an Allen wrench for 47 cents. My only request would be that the instructions had said that was needed along with the correct size. Otherwise it went very smoothly.

Broken freezer handle
Ordered a new handle. Fortunately we had saved the screws. The new one fit perfectly, but no screws were included. An Allen wrench and a square headed screw driver are needed. Easy with the right tools. Came in a package of two, so we have an extra.

Door handle had broken off under the screws that attaced to the door.
Unscrewed the screws, and loosened the set screw attaching the bottom of the old handle to a post. Attached the bottom of the handle to the post, tightened the set screw, and screwed the top of the new handle back into the door.
