I just checked the timer and it is getting power but the fan in the back of the freezer comes on when it goes in to defrost mode and turns off when the compressor comes on.

That fan should come on when the compressor comes on and go off when it's in defrost mode. It appears you are having a bad elecrtical problem with your unit or the controls are messed up.

I would call a tech first to have the unit checked completely it's probably something simple, that's hard to spot.
Besides most places would charge a lot to haul it off as the freon has to be reclaimed in order for the unit to be scrapped.

Nat,
Thanks for all your help. I followed every possible electrical lead. No burnt wires behind the freezer wall under the fan and I checked power to the timer and there was 120+v and when I turn the timer it sends power to the compressor and to the fan and I just can't figure out why the lights on both sides suddenly went out and then the whole thing quit working.My Waste Management doesn't charge extra for large appliances as long as you notify them ahead of time. The last time I called a tec for my Whirlpool he mis-diagnosed and I was charged $75.00 anyways and when I called for a refund they said they couldn't refund but would send another tech out for another $75.00. By the way I just got my icemaker delivered and I put it in , in between texting you. Will let you know tomorrow if it is now working. What's the probability of having problems with 2 refers in the same week.LOL
Thanks Again
Ron

It happens....if you were around here I'd pick it up from you and let my son & future son-in-law tear into it to locate the problem. Stuff like that make great training!!
