The fridge came with the house... Right after the closing we realized there was something funky going on, as the beer we left during final pre-settlement walk-through stayed warm... did not catch that during the inspection, as the freezer section was very cold and with ice cubes, etc.

Thanks to this forum, I was able to pinpoint the problem to the evaporator fan that seized. I took it out and was going to order a new one, but, after forcing a few revolutions with my fingers, it became free. I put it back in, and the fridge works fine, for now anyway.

So, what are are the chances the fan continues to work OK? Should I wait and see, or should I get a new one?

Thanks again.
