I have a freezer top/fridge bottom. All of a sudden it stopped cooling. The motor is running and the freezer fan on top works , but there is no cold air coming out into the freezer. The condenser fan to the fridge runs for about 30 seconds then stops. Any advice how i can solve this?

Your comments make little sense, try to organize them.

Plug 115 volts into the condensing fan motor AP2071789, if it fails to run, order a new one.

If it will start when you hand turn it, you have a bad motor, or very low voltage to it.

Maybe I am not making my self clear. The Fan Motor works if I plug it in to the wall. My neighbor has the same fridge and it works. i pulled the condenser fan from his and put it in my fridge. It also spinned for 15 seconds and stopped. The problem isnt with the fan motor. I was hoping you could tell me where the problem lies. Thermostat? Defroster? I dont know.

You have a simple control in this, usually if the condensing motor goes off, the freezer fan motor and the compressor will shut down also, is this true?
