It can be loud if it's wore out or it can be hitting ice build up. In which case you may have a defrost problem. Here's a diagram of your fan. It appears to be in the top behind a cover on the back. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/getSubComp.pd?modelNumber=25351622101&productCategoryId=0165000&brandId=0582&modelName=SIDE-BY-SIDE-REFRIGERATOR&diagramPageId=00005&componentDescription=CONTROLS&documentId=P0106200&backToLink=Return%20to%20Sub%20Components%20list
