We have a GE Model # PSS26SGRB-SS, Serial # HG430561 that's about three years old and it has developed a howling noise from the freezer condenser fan motor. I have gone in as far as taking the ice maker out but I can't figure out how to get behind the panel in the back of the freezer to remove and replace the motor. Does anyone have any helpful hints?

The evaporator fan motor is inside the freezer by the evaporator (cooling) coil, a "condenser" fan motor would be outside the fridge by the compressor at the rear, bottom.Originally posted by rxatkin

That panel should be removable. Are there no screws toward the top of bottom of it either going through toward the rear or through the edge of it into the side of the cabinet?I can't figure out how to get behind the panel in the back of the freezer to remove and replace the motor. Does anyone have any helpful hints?
I have been told that some models have that panel held in with 2-way tape on the edges but that was *in addition to* screws. I don't know about on that exact model, GE doesn't provide very detailed exploded view parts diagrams. Things as small a screws are often not even illustrated. Sorry.

Temporary fix
rxatkin
My frig was making this loud noise sometimes for a few month off and on.
Finally got the ambition to take the thing apart and found ice build up around the freezer evaporator fan.
Fan was hitting ice. But not all the time.
Shook the fan a little by hand, and used a hair dryer to melt ice.
Fixed it , at least for a while.

Freezer Noises
Hi,
That previous post by JoeKool sounds like the exact same problem I'm having.
After you went through that process of de-icing the fan, did the problem come back yet, or are things working well now?
I'm about to try this myself.Comment
