First, cleaned all the dirt and lint from the condenser radiator, the fan motor is in a metal housing holding the fan motor in place. look carefully and there is a sheet metal screw at the bottom of the housing, 1/4 inch screw head sheet metal screw. I removed the screw and that released the housing from the base of frig. then very carefully , I turn the housing with the fan motor still in the housing a worked out of the frig base where it would be easier to replace the bad motor. the way I got the fan blade off the motor without breaking it , was I placed a small piece of wood against the motor shaft and the back side of the fan blade where it slides on the shaft, then tapped on the wood to remove the fan blade from the motor shaft, ( most often these plastic fan blades with age break easy ) I have also discovered, that most of the time when removing one of the old fan blades , it works best to make the first blow count when removing the plastic fan from the motor, being careful to keep the piece of small wood against the metal motor shaft and the base of the plastic fan blade at the same time. the sudden blow will break the plastic blade loose from the metal motor shaft without damaging the plastic blade so it can be put back on the new motor once the new motor is installed in the metal housing. The fan blade will slide on the new motor with some light tap of a screwdriver handle. do not try to remove the compression ring clamp from the fan blade, if you do? you should order a new blade when you when you order the new motor. also be careful of refrigerant lines while removing and replacing the fan housing with the new motor not to pry or bend lines,..this action will result in a refrigerant leak, main thing is to take your time . don't be scared of doing this job,and as of any electrical appliance, be sure to unplug to avoid electrical shock . put every thing back in reverse of the way you took it out, plug the new motor in to the plug provided on the new motor, should be an easy fix , the motor is an exact replacement as the original motor. good luck Richard's electronics.
