Sounds like the evaporator fan motor (in the freezer) has gone bad.

Leo,

Check for 120 VAC to this motor while the compressor and the fan on the back are on.

If there is proper voltage, the motor is bad.

This fan is next to the compressor. If you touch the compressor, you'd feel it's vibrating.

Did the fan next to the compressor run at the time you checked the compressor?

Is the freezer still very cold?
