Kenmore refrigerator stopped cooling because fan stopped

my refrigerator quit cooling in the garage. I noticed that the cooling
fan was stuck and not working. Compressor is making funny noises. When I
pushed on the fan, it started working. What do you think is the problem?

Freon? Compressor? It is a Kenmore.

Probably just the fan motor has worn out unless it was stopped up because of
a buildup of frost. Then it would be a defrost problem. In many
situations like this the compressor will make different sounds than normal
