I think it is the Evaporator fan that controls the air flow but just no sure. I have checked and made sure that the vents are not covered so I don't know where else to go short of a service call. What do you think?

If it fails to run, get a new one here AP3137520 Could the air scoop (damper) to the fridge side in the air duct be stuck or the thermostat that controls it bad? I know that the scoop is controlled by a "thermostat part # AP3037004" that pivots an arm opening and closing the air scoop in the duct but not sure of that possibility since all of that appears to be more or less straight up bi metal mechanical. Don't know where to go with this now, I really appreciate the help
