I had condensation in freezer compartment, and local dealer said to replace freezer door seal.
When I received the freezer door gasket, I placed in in the house over heater outlet for a few hours to warm up. Then I removed old gasket, and installed new gasket. It went well, but I could detect small leaks along bottom of door gasket, so I placed small strips of Monster Tape between seal and door frame to complete the seal. I works great now, and an easy repair. Thank you

Noisy fan in freezer compartment
First I unplugged the power. Then I removed the wire shelf, center plastic cover, flited the stryofoam piece out, removed the back panel. Then I disconnedted the fan connectors. Then I took the fan brackets off and removed the clamp holding the fan blades to the motor shaft. I then reversed the steps to complete the installation.

Fan became noisy
First unplug freezer and empty contents, then remove the screws from the air deflector, carefully remove styrafoam air deflector block then remove back panel for easy access. Fan will be easy to switch out from there. I highly recommend the You Tube video which is where I got my basic instructions.

Noisy motor that was getting worse.
Followed the steps on the linked video. Absolutely accurate and easy to follow. Beware: Don't drop a screw down the opening after removing the styrofoam block.

Refigerator was amking a loud noise when the fan came on to cool.
Followed the on line instructions and found the repair to be very easy. Took longer to remove the food from the freezer than to switch out the fan motor.

Loud whirling noises when the motor started up, then they subside (and stop) in a short time
I have not yet done the repair. After watching this repair video two problems came to mind. First I only ordered one grommet not knowing that there were two (or more I don't yet know). The second problem is that this video must be for a fridge from like the 1940, but it looks NOTHING like mine from 2008. The manual shows a bazillion parts and frankly I'm just a wee bit afraid to get started, and I am generally very handy, buuuttttttttt I don't know about this one

Fan making noise.
Remove ice maker and all of it's accessories in order to remove the panel covering the fan. Don't drop the screws!
Unscrew the lower fan bracket. You will see the lower red rubber grommet. Hold fan motor with one hand and push the fan off the shaft and into the compartment above. Then remove the round retainer thing below it by holding it and pulling down on the motor assembly. Install new grommet on upper part. and put it all together.
REMEMBER where the fan is on the shaft. It has about one inch of shaft placement. I put mine so that most of it was above the hole that the fan goes into and about 20 percent showing below the sheet metal.
Also check to see if your fan is damaged. Mine was not.
This refrigerator has been awesome! I have had many issues but have been able to fix all of them for the last 15 years!

Evaporator fan motor went out
After removing 2 screws from freezer air duct and 2 screws and 2 self tapping screws from back panel, I removed all these, as well as the foam duct connector. Checked and verified 120 volts at the motor connector, indicating that the motor was bad. Ordered the motor, and 22 hours later, it arrived. 15 minutes later,and 6 screws reinstalled, it was up and running.

Fan quit working
I pulled the shrouding off, unplugged the motor and replaced it. The hardest part is slipping the fan blade off the shaft without breaking it. Works perfectly now. Also, the shipping fed-ex, regular ground was only 3 days here to arizona. Would use anytime
