I'm asking this question again due to low response. Please have some direct experience in refrigeration by employement or do-it-yourself.
It sounds like the fan is hitting the sides of it's encasement; gets very loud. It has also been known to "freeze up" and the fan doesn't move and temperature stopped being cool. My only rememedy is to turn it off for a few hours-unplug it. Then I put it back on and it's fine for a month or so. Brand Avanti, about 1+ cubic foot, no freezer compartment. I don't believe that freon is an issue with this small electric, recently purchased appliance.
I do appreciate the earlier responses, but just not "hitting the nail on the head", so to speak.

It's the defrost elements, they arn't working, so ice builds up around the fan, U can unplug it & defrost it & take the inside panels off to get @ the elements & try replaceing them or u have to manualy defrost it every 3 -4 weeks. elements cost from $20 -$ 50 bucks.

You can try to level it. Look at the doors to see if they alien properly. That is if it is a two door. If it is just one door look at the edges to see if they are aliened. If that is ok you will have to take the back panel of to see if the bottom frame has been damaged. There are two fans in a refrigerator. One is in the compartment with the compressor and the other one is in the freezer.If it is the fan in the freezer you have a defrost problem.

Check around the fan blades. Once I had a piece of Styrofoam get stuck and the fan wouldn't run. Probably just something hitting the blades. Should be easy to fix.
