 You know, I was going to mention in the other thread that the evaporator fan in the back of the freezer was the only thing I ever had to replace on my '70-ish Whirlpool. It wasn't squealing, but it was barely blowing. I think these were the weak link in the Coldspot/Whirlpool refrigerators from the '60s and '70s.
This part could still be readily available and it's not a big deal to replace. It should just require removing all the screws holding the rear panel in place and then you'll have easy access to the fan's mounting screws. The old fan may have a part number on it, or you could just take it to an appliance parts retailer to match up.
A new fan will get your freezer down to holding at zero degrees or lower. | ||
