I have a Kenmore Side by Side Refrig. and the condenser fan in the back isn't working. What part goes out? Is it normally the fan that goes out or some kind of relay?

Found postings referencing that when the fan motor goes out so does the board. I can't find the board part number or information. Does anyone know the exact name for the board? I found part #AP3137510 labeled Refrig. P.C. Board Kit. does this sound right? Also, where is this located in the frig.?
thanks in advance.

thanks in advance. This PC board kit has nothing to do with the condenser fan motor. It operates with the ice maker. Check if there is 120 VAC to the condenser fan motor while the compressor is on. If there is proper voltage, replace the fan motor. - The condenser fan motor Part number: AP3133080

Thanks for the information. I read that the pc board kit mentioned something about ice maker which was a red flag for me. I did check the power to the fan like you mentioned and it appears it is the fan. I will order the fan you sent the part number for.
Question: What if it wasn't the fan? What would have been next?
Thanks again.

Replace the fan motor and post the result. If something will go wrong, we'll go from there.
