Had a power surge and it blew a lightbulb in fridge. Then the panels around freezer became extremely hot to the touch. We read to clean off the coils which we did and then noticed the condenser fan wasn't working either. Does anyone know how to check if the fan motor is bad or where to begin to look to see what the power surge could've fried other than the motor??

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for Whirlpool ED5FHEXVS00 REFRIGERATOR | AppliancePartsPros.com

The condenser/compressor fan is wired in parallel with the compressor so should be on when ever the compressor is on.
Check to see if it is getting 120 volts when the compressor is on.
If it is then it is toast and needs replacing.
