THere are typically 2 fans in a fridge - one blows across the coils in the
bottom to help lose the heat and the other helps circulate the cold air inside
the box.  termating either one will make the fridge run warm.  I would
recommend killing the one in the bottom.  In a side by side, typically the
vertical partition between the freezer & regular section will become hot to
the touch and the fridge won't cool well.  This happened to mine recently.  I
tried to lube the fan but it couldn't be resurrected and just the part cost me
almost $90.
