The fan motor is held in place with screws
and possibly a mounting bracket. Remove the bracket and the
screws and pull the motor back away from the housing.
The fan motor is connected by two or three
wires. Label the wire placement on the motor before disconnecting
the wires. The wires are connected to the terminals with slip-on
connectors or a plug. Firmly pull the connectors off of the
terminals (do not pull on the wire). You may need to use a
pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the connectors. Inspect
the connectors and the terminals for corrosion. If the connectors
are corroded they should be replaced.
Remove the fan blade from the old motor and
install it onto the new motor. Connect the wires to the new
motor and install the motor into the bracket or housing. Make
certain that all of the screws are tightened securely.
Replace the access cover (if any) and plug
in the refrigerator.
