only if the fan noise is driving you crazy. the noise is probaly the motor starting to go out. you can replace it. it might save you money in the long run to replace it, if it goes out you could run into bad food in your fridge.

After about an hour the freezer is 26 and the fridge is 64. The Evap Fan isn't running. I cliped the wires, after I unplugged it of course, and wire nutted them together and ran the unit. I measured 12 volts dc between the white and red wire. So I figured it was a bad fan motor. I purchased a new fan and installed it. Unit still not cooling after an hour. I contacted the appliance repair place and he said that it takes a while even though I explained I had the 12 volts dc going to the motor. Now here's my question, there is a yellow and a blue wire also on that motor harness. Could there be something else that the board is looking for to pass another leg of power to that motor? Because the new one isn't working either. I tested the old one with a nine volt battery. When I hooked the red and the white to the battery I got nothing. But when I twisted the red, blue, yellow together it spun, seemingly slow, but it spun. So that's what brought my question about the other leg from the board. Also I noticed only the bottom 3rd of the evap froze when the compressor ran, so it could be a refrigeration problem too. But it still doesn't explain the problem with the fan.
