Refrigerator fan replacement 2006 Bambi 19
Our refrigerator has always worked well, but the fans pulling air through the condenser were getting loud, so I replaced them with Noctua 120mm NF-S12A PWM fans (from Amazon). Others on the forum have used the same fan and so far they seem to be working very well and they are very quiet. The installation used the original bracket. I mounted the fans on a 1" x 1/8" piece of aluminum using the same screws that were used to mount the original fans (trimmed to length). I then pop riveted the mounted fans to the original bracket. I also used the leads from the old fans to wire the new ones to the 12-volt bus. See the attached pics.
One other change that I made was to reroute the wires that passed between the condenser and the old fans. It was rubbing on one of the new fan blades. I just spliced in 18" of new wire for the two wires and ran it to the left of the condenser.
