Pulled out the refrigerator and removed the two panels from the rear of the refrigerator. Removed the fan held in by four screws and unplugged the connector. Soldered on the original connector, installed the fan to the motor and re-installed the unit into the refrigerator. Then blew out and vaccumed the condenser coils.

Unfortunately at the left side the kickplate would

not fully mate with the metal clip on the refrigerator body and would not snap all the way back to the refrigerator front surface, as the right side does. At least the kickplate doesn't fall down onto the floor on the left side as it did before. I suspect there is an alignment problem with the left side refrigerator metal clip, but have not pursued that yet.

It was pretty straight forward after all the control panel removed. The plastic tubing was removed from old and installed on new part. Reconnected the connectors and re-route wire to the back vent. After installed covers and control panel, turn on power, it runs.

ordered the wrong part at first. Spoke to a service assistant, returned it and got the right part. Cut it to fit and inserted it. The Service assistant was very helpful, wish I used her first rather than the online system.
