Ok got this side by side that had a bad evap fan motor, I changed it and it has been fine and plugged in my shop for a month now. I checked it yesterday and the ice jn the ice maker bucket seemed to be sticking together like the freezer was warming. Sure enough I put my thermometer in the freeZe and it shows 32 degrees where it was showing right at zero. I pulled cover off coils to check and fN was running. No coils were iced up but the thermostat and both sides of it were iced up. What direction do I go? Most videos say I more than likely have an internal refrigeration issue now ie low freon or bad compressor..... Can someone give me some help?

OK the evaporator fan was running but was the compressor running?

You can usually hear it but also should be able to feel it vibrating.

If it is on all the time except when the unit is in a defrost cycle and there is only frost in one area then you have a sealed system problem.
This will be an expensive repair and often ot makes more sense to put the dollars towards a new unit.

Be sure that the compressor has run for at least an hour before doing the above check. If you do it shortly after or during a defrost cycle you can end up with the wrong diagnosis.
