I'd be looking at a new one.

I'd tend to agree, but defrost timers, fans, and such are usually
pretty simple repairs. There isn't much repairable in a refer.
Usually when anything more is wrong the thing has just about had it
anyway. His problem *could* be one of these.

If you can DIY any of those problems, it is worth the fix. A service call +
parts can be half the cost of a new modest refrigerator though. It may be
good for another 10 years, but something else can let go next week. Tough
call on a 10 yo machine.
