All was well until just now I noticed a slight burning smell coming from the kitchen. Seems the fan has stopped spinning altogether. I will have to get a desktop fan as well for now until the motor comes in.

I was able to get the motor and grommets for $29.00 with S&H and was able to replace it with no problem! Much better than paying $300.00 for a service technician or $1000.00 for a new fridge :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!Melanie Wickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215273667865041383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6196273007744772526.post-74529149640104029902009-06-17T20:40:04.350-04:002009-06-17T20:40:04.350-04:00Hi Steve - I called my local independent small app...Hi Steve - I called my local independent small appliance new/used/repair store and they ordered the part for me.

Your instructions look great, so I'm now pretty confident that I can replace the motor.<br /><br />Can you share where you purchased the motor?
