The motor seems to work fine for a few months and then there is a large amount of frost that builds up in the freezer. Then the fan makes a terrible sound and then eventually dies. Obviously something else is wrong with the refrigerator that keeps killing the fan but I don't want to drop tons of money to find out what part. Could I need to replace the mother board as well? Nothing else is wrong with the refrigerator.

Have you tested the fan to see if it is bad each time. Are the coils iced up when you take the cover off to the replace the fan. If so check defrost heater, defrost thermostat.
