Just today the freezer side stop blowing cold air. The fan is working, but only blows warm air. The refrigerator side is still working, but not as cold before. I can hear the fan working and cutting off, but every time warmer and warmer. I'm pretty handy with electrical and mechanical equipment, but I would like to narrow down the problem before I take the entire fridge apart. Can someone help me please???

Do you hear a clicking noise coming from the back of the box?

I would check the compressor, if slightly warm or cold, I would remove the motherboard in the back and look for bat solder joints at the power relay. If ok, I would replace the motherboard AP4436216, most probable failed item.

At first it was more of an rattle sound that came from the fan. Then clicking sound became louder until it stopped. The fridge continued to work until just two days ago.

Your motherboard in the back controls both evaporator and condenser fans motors. If either one failed, the motherboard and the fan motor must be replaced. If a failed condensing fan motor, you can put a portable fan on it till parts come in.

Replace the motherboard and any motor that is bad, replacing the resistor will not fix the board.
