The evap coils had some ice on them but not to much. The defrost coil was not hot, I melted the ice with a hair drier. Is this the circuit board of fan or both.

If it runs independently, replace the adaptive defrost board. Your description sounds more like a bad fan motor, though.Part number: AP4700070
