Have 20 year old Hotpoint top freezer that works beautifully. Moved refrig out to clean the floor, etc. After pushed back now hear constant whirring noise like a fan?

Thank you for your quick response. Luckily, the noise has stopped. We attempted to look for the fan before the noise stopped but did not know where to access it. We know it's on the bottom but how to find? just in case the noise returns.

there should be a heavy cardboard cover on the back of the fridge at the bottom.
