The fan in the freezer was making noise.
I followed the instructions in the video. The decorative parts were slightly different than in the video, such as screws at the top versus the bottom, but all of the working parts were the same. I was somewhat hesitant about applying pressure to remove the locking spring and fan blades and to replace them but the video reassured me and all went well. The refrigerator is operating as quietly as when it was brand new.

Fan motor noisy
Turn off refrigerator. Remove the plastic air flow cover, styrofoam channel and metal panel inside freezer compartment, remove hex nuts holding motor mount, unplug connector, remove old grommets, remove compression ring, (note 1/4 inch extension of shaft through fan) carefully pull fan blade off motor shaft and put on new motor shaft, leaving 1/4 inch of shaft extending through, replace compression ring. If your new fan motor has a female snap connector and the old motor has a male connector (as mine did) you will have to cut the wires on both new and old motors, splice and solder the male connector onto the wires of new motor, wrap carefully with premium electrical tape (or shrink tubing). Replace the 2 grommets, Reconnect the fan and bolt back into place. Make sure all the bolts around the mount are tight. Replace the metal panel. Manually spin the fan making sure it is free of the shroud. If it binds in the shroud, physically move the motor and mount till it rotates freely. Turn on refrigerator and test fan operation. If it's all good, replace the styrofoam and plastic cover.

Rat chewed up fan blades in refrigerator at our camp.
We just pried off the fan blades and pushed on the new part. Could not have been easier. The rat has been permanently dipatched and, hopefully, that is that.

fan hung up and made a lot of noise, the shaft to fan blade had 1" play back and forth
I first watched the video on how to do it via YouTube, to make sure there were no hidden surprises. This was probably the easiest/ quickest repair I have ever done, the ONLY thing that took any time was removing the food from the freezer

Frezzer would freeze up, refrigerator stayed cold, solved the problem. Now the refrigerator seems to be running more than usual.
Checked the defroster coil which is located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment, it was still working. Followed the schematics down to the defrost timer, which is located in the lower front of the refrigerator and tried that. Plugged in the new part and the problem is solved.

Refrigerator and freezer too warm
1) This is a built-in refrigerator with the compressor, coils, etc. at the top. Turn off the breaker to the fridge. 2) Remove the front panel off the top (just push up and pull out). 3) Removed 2 screws to the old timer and carefully remove the plug. Plug the new timer in and screw in. 4) Since our fridge was heavily frosted up, we moved everything to another refrigerator and coolers and kept the refrigerator off until all panels were room temperature. 5) If you haven't cleaned the coil in a while, vacuum it with a soft brush attachment. 6) Turned back on and the refrigerator is cooler than ever!

failed light switch
I started removing the switch by prying on the right side with a screwdriver, when it emerged enough I used pliers to finish removing it. I then unpluged rhe wires from the bad switch and pluged them on the new switch and "poped" it into the hole.
