Got this frm craigslist so don't know full history, but they said it WAS working. Both sides were blowing warm air...then we replaced thermistor & defrost temp probe...now fridge side not blowing at all & freezer side still blowing warm air and coils not cold at all:) . I paid $300...is it even worth tryin to change defrost heater assembly?? Maybe I just got ripped off.

Hi.

Check if the compressor is running, you should fill vibration when you touch it.If it's not - does it makes any noises?
Does the motor next to it (condenser motor) run?

If the compressor is vibrating,but condenser coilsnot warm, you either have a clogged capillary tube, or it leaked refrigerant. If you moved it on it's side and failed to leave it upright for a sufficient time, you most probably have a clogged capillary.
