If you gently spin the fan it runs, cools the fridge and then shuts off automatically. When the refrigerator again starts to run the fan will not start up on it's own and the fridge will run continuously. Inside both freezer and fridge are fine, just the outside gets hot to the touch. Once I spin the fan gently it again works fine. Any ideas why the fan seems to work but won't start up on it's own? I even just lightly oiled the fan just in case it was dust. Runs quietly when working.
