Evaporator fan works and there is no ice on evaporator coils. Freezer still working fine. Any trouble shooting ideas will be appreciated. Thanks

If it is bad, the temperature reading inside the unit would not read correctly. You can test this with a multi-meter. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros...continuity-ohmmeter.html Part number: AP3873826
