Wouldn't cool
I removed the 3 screws that held the motor and fan. Exchanged fan blades and reinstalled the fan and new motor
I was surprised to find the motor. The refrigerator/freezer was over 28 yrs old. Works fine now

I was getting irratic temperture control. I determined that tapping on the control would cause it to turn on or off as it should, on if the frig was to warm, or off if it was to cold.
The temperture control was mounted on the back wall of the refrigerator. One screw and a couple of tabs appeared to be the only attachments. After removing the screw, the freezer control appeared to be an issue since it was also attached to other parts. A little careful pushing revealed that the control knob simply snapped into the cover

Noisy Fan Motor - Bearing went out.
Moving the frig out and cleaning was the hardest part of this job - lots of dust collected over the 17 years the frig was in place. Once all the cleaning was done, with the frig out and back cover off (10 -12 screws taken off with nutdriver),I plugged the frig in and observed the the problem was a noisy fan motor. The motor is at the very

back of the frig with easy access to the 3 brackets holding it in place.
Pull off the electrical clip. Remove the screw holding the bracket to the frame on the front bracket, leaving the bracket attacked to the fan. The other two screws remove from the fan, leaving the brackets in place.
Reverse the procedure when you receive the new part from PartSelect(great company to deal with)!
