Lessons learned replacing the evaporative fan in my Refrigerator

If you don't want to break little plastic tabs and whatnot, defrost the freezer before you start taking it apart. A hairdryer works quite well.

It is much easier to do something technical/mechanical if there are two of you. I don't think that either mom or I could have cracked the nut of taking the freezer apart on our own, but we were able to do it together.

It is often easier than you think to install/maintain/repair appliances, but it takes patience and, sometimes, an internet connection.

A whining/roaring refrigerator is actually much more annoying than a screaming baby. In fact, maybe the former contributes to the latter.
