I have an Amana side by side refrigerator. All of a sudden it sounds as though there is a big truxk in there. Makes lots of noise. In the freezer compartment, I removed the back panel and there is a fan attached to a motor. Using a screw driver, when I push the bracket on which the motor/fan is mounted, the noise changes. I think the fan is what is casuing the raucus. Do I need to buy and replace the fan (inexpensive) or do I have to replace the motor as well (expensive)? Could the noise be from something else?
Thanks.

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for AMANA SZ25M2W | AppliancePartsPros.com

Unplug the unit.
Check that the fan blade is not hitting anything.
If it has good clearance all around unplug the fan motor, make sure the pluf cannot short to anything, plug the unit in and give it a try.

If the noise is gone you need a new fan motor.
