replaced starter relay after paper fell into fan and compressor stopped running and would not cut back on. now compressor seems to be running find, but the fans inside the fridge aren't running. left running over night the temps on the freezer were 0 and the fridge 40, but after opening a few times to check the temps were back up to 48 and 69. the freezer wall is getting down to temp, but there are no fans running still?
any help would be greatly appreciated

When it fails, is the compressor warm and vibrating, or just hot?

When it fails, check the evaporator fan, might be intermittent.

I plugged the fridge back in and let it run, and all the same happened again. Only the condensor fan and compressor came on, the evaporator fan does not kick in at all . The freezer wall gets down to 0° but there is no air movement at all

Remove the evaporator fan motor and stick it in the wall outlet, if it still will not run, get a new one AP4700070

It spun before i took it out, but slowly and like i said it wasn't running until i tapped on it. Would this indicate a short in the motor? How fast is it supposed to run? w
