I 'abandoned' the rattling original fan in place as I could not reach the screws. I'll pull it off if I ever have to pull the reefer. I then Installed two ~45cfm computer case fans - should be enough vs that clunk that was in the fridge compartment, but since it was a 4 fan pack, have a couple more, just in case.
The original thermistor switch on the fridge cooling fins had died (these are generally cheap junk) so I ended up going to Home Depot and picking up an attic fan switch. Works perfectly.
This is what I used @$13.99USD with free shipping (also a one day $5.00 rebate on them as well):

The 1 amp fuse is plenty of capacity for these two at something like .15 amps each.
Photo also shows the new 'attic fan' thermostat which is set at about 100*F.
I also have a bypass toggle switch just in case plus the wiring 'cleaned up' since the photo was taken.
