I have a General Electric side by side refridgerator model GSS25SGRESS. The fan on the freezer side sounds like it runs slow, fast, slow with a humming or howling sound that also increases and decreases in intensity.

The only place that cools in a refrigerator is the freezer. The refridgerator side stills cold from the freezer via an air duct that runs from the freezer to the refridgerator. If your fan in the freezer compartment is not working your refridgerator side will not work. To replace the fan you will need to clean out the freezer including the shelving. Then remove the back panel all you need is a phillips screw driver. When the back is replaced the fan is at the top. It is held in by two screws that go threw rubber mounts on the fan braces. You will need to remove one ground wire and two electric wires on the motor its self. Make sure to unplug the refrigerator before starting the repair. good luck
Sounds as if the compressor is not running even tho the fans are. The overload relays on the side of the compressor are usually the source of this problem. They are on the side of the compressor and if you change these out you should be fine. Fairly easy to do as it should just be a plug connecting it. Hope this helps.
If the black residue , is on the left , in the back , then the # 5 thermistor needs to be replaced . This is a white torpedo looking piece , with 2 white wires going to it , inside a holder at the bottom of the freezer panel . This thermistor , tells the control board , the freezer temp , and if bad , it will " lie" to the board , which can cause the fan speed to vary .
Glad you mentioned the residue with the noise . Had other questions concerning the fan speed , so now , it finally makes sence . Thanks for a complete question WITH observation .
sound like you said a sealed system problem if compressor is running check the black coil under ref by the fan and see if it is warm if not you have lost freon just trash it then if it is see if fan in freezer is running if so pull back cover in freezer and see if coil starts to freeze if you have a ice block on coil then it is a defrost problem good luck
