Milissa W Dover , DE November 14, 2017 The old fan died and the fridge was hot to the touch between the doors The fan casing that came with the fridge (its an 8 year old Samsung side by side with water through the door) cracked and broke and was subsequently repaired by a local shop. When that fan failed and lacking the inclination to buy a new fridge just now, I searched for and found this site and figured out I could replace it myself without much difficulty. So I bought the new parts and popped out the old fan and popped in the new one. Less than 5 minutes start to finish and no more heat where it shouldn't be in the fridge. 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
