How to Repair the Compressor Fan in a Samsung RS263WW Refrigerator

If the temperature in your Samsung refrigerator begins to rise, it could be due to a broken condenser fan. Located near the compressor, the condenser fan's main purpose is to pull air through the bottom grille on the front of the refrigerator in order to cool the compressor. The passage of air also aids in the evaporation of the water in the refrigerator's drain pan, which may overflow if the fan fails in an especially humid climate. To repair the fan, you must remove the fan motor and install a new one.
