Replaced fan, thermistor that comes in harness and defrost thermistor. The fas is still not running. What else could it be?

Everything but the fan seems to be fine. I put in a temporary fan plugged into external 120V and the refrigerator cools fine like that.

Hello,

The evaporator fan motor, like all other stuff in your refrigerator, operates by the main control board, which is located on the back of the refrigerator. Usually when the fan motor goes bad it kills the main control board. We always suggest to replace both, the fan motor (evaporator or condenser, whichever has gone bad) and the main control board together.

You can find much more useful information in our previous threads: http://forum.appliancepartspros...motors-motherboards.html and http://forum.appliancepartspros...or-test-replacement.html
