GE refrigerator ZISP420DKBSS noise from condenser side

Model Number

ZISP420DKBSS

Brand

GE

Age

6-10 years

My 6 yr old refrigerator started making noise. (I bought a house with this one a year ago) please see the video with sound Here.

Based on the search, I suspect either condenser is not secured properly or the fan / fan motor has problem.

I want to narrow down the noise source but I dont know how to remove the grill (or protector?) which is shown in my video. I really cannot find a way to properly disassemble the part- Can anyone show me how I remove that protector? All videos that I found at youtube, similar ge refrigerators have no such things.
