As with the Russell Hobbs post I just answered, if you get repeated failure of the relay/overload then it is almost a stone-cold certainty the compressor has failed and those components are doing as they should do, failing to prevent further danger/damage.

By the sounds of it and, with the repeated failure and without looking at the machine, best guess is the compressor is shot and the relay/overload is doing as it should do, failing to prevent any further danger/damage.
Occam’s razor, normally the simplest answer is the correct one.

Being a rant doesn’t mean it’s not correct you know. 😉
People being dumb, bluntly put and not giving a **** is why many clothes get chucked in the bin and, they see them as disposable given they’re so cheap and so they take little to no care of them. So, machine manufacturers, I think sussed that long ago and started to produce machines that didn’t clean well and are just as disposable and again, so cheap they don’t give a stuff and often take little to no care of them.
You’ll probably find more than a few that do so in the next Extinction Rebellion march. Many more droning on about them being “environmentally friendly” by buying an AAAA+++ machine.. then totally ignoring how to use it as well as what they put in it.
The wonderful world we live in eh?

“We urgently require information from robust scientific experiments to determine the capacity of technological solutions to reduce emissions of fibres to sewage that range in size from mili-, micro-, and nanometres.”
Or, how about this for an idea…
Attack the disease, not the symptoms and get the clothing industry to reduce plastics in fabrics. No technological solutions required.
And, teach people to wash stuff correctly.
Or am I perhaps being too simplistic?

The fan you will hear but it will be quiet unless it’s hitting something.
The fan will not “melt” unless it’s jammed then friction will heat it up or, the defrost cycle if jammed at heating which is unlikely and there’s a safety stat to stop it overheating. So, logically, it’s probably overfreezing and you need to prove that and work out why.

Most like that are Chinese in origin so you can sometimes find them on the likes of Ali Express but, that’s not ideal.

I can find no info on that model at all anywhere, which is fairly normal for many Swam products I’m afraid.
What or if there is any support at all for many is unknown.
K.
Not really, start at the beginning of a problem, not jump to the end. From what you said, given the fan’s the only moving part in there, it sounds like it’s hitting ice.
Firstly you need to work out:
a. If it’s overfreezing and, if so
b. Why
c. If it’s not ice build up, what is the fan hitting something in there
d. Why.
Before you do that doing much anything else is pretty pointless, don’t you think. As what I think you’ve done is treat the symptom, not address the underlying reason for that, not to be disrespectful.
So start at “a.”, don’t try to jump to X, Y or Z. Until you rule out the basics, there’s little to no point doing much else or you’re just guessing, will be playing parts bingo and quite possibly be no further forward after that as I suspect you’ve just replaced a fan motor for no reason other than an incorrect diagnosis of the problem, not to be disrespectful.
K.
Best guess from what you report, the freezer is over freezing for some reason but I’d defrost it totally for at least 24 hours first, restart it and see if the problem returns.
It was not liable to have been the fan motor if the old one was running okay.

And that will get worse by the looks of it if the cost of importing/exporting rises due to the UK’s exit from the EU.
Basically, before Covid and Brexit making low-cost goods in the UK and most of the EU was not commercially viable, hence the migration to lower labour cost areas but after that double whammy… totally nonsensical to try to make much of anything where the margins are wafer-thin.
What really gets my goat and, it is a personal opinion, is people thinking that “common sense” and “duty to country” will make people buy British. It won’t.
People will act in their own self-interests and buy the what suits them at the lowest cost they can and we should all know that (perhaps of a certain age) all too well where the numpties would use the “free call out brigade” and didn’t bother to look beyond that one word, free. And with all that buy cheap no-name branded junk that most probably you all see every day.
Humans are often utterly predictable.

Sorry but that would be the presumption as other than impact damage or the insulation full of moisture there’s not really any other way that can happen. There are instances in some cabinets where it can do but if that were the case it’d be a well known issue and happening to slews of the same cabinets and they’d sort it out on way or another.
BSH cabinets though, I am unaware of any such issues.
In the absence of a visible issue or many instances they will then reasonably assume it’s impact damage as there’s not any other reason they can see.
