Re: any way to resurrect a weak fan?

So my refrigerator evaporator fan has become too weak to turn.  Well, it
turns, but very slowly maybe 1 RPM when the normal speed is 3000 or so.
I have a new one on the way but, before my food spoils, is there any way
to perhaps resurrect this existing fan, just to keep it going for 2-3
days until the new one arrives?  I wiggled it once or twice which
initiated full speed, but it didn't last.  I also tried lightly oiling
it but no difference.  Thanks in advance.

Will an external desk fan blowing over the heat exchanger do the job until the new fan arrives? That's if you can get it in the right position, of course.
