I have checked the compressor and it gets hot and is working, so the relay works correctly, and the 3 posts are in range from 4-11 OHMS. The Condenser fan operates, and when unplugged from the power source, the Control, Damper will close. I have cleaned the evaporator coils, they were covered in thick dust. But I am not getting cold air into the Refrigerator. I also cant seem to get the top panel that has the Electronic Control Board off to test circuits.

PLEASE HELP!

I think you have the evaporator and condenser coils mixed up.
The evaporator coils are the ones in the freezer.

You did not say but what is the temperature in the freezer>

Is the evaporator/freezer fan running? It must be on to push the cold air into the fresh food section.

The freezer is super cold and there is ice formed on the back of the freezer in the inside. The air is circulating, but only in the freezer. I took everything out of the freezer and will manually defrost the freezer. My next step to try to figure out what the problem is, I will check the Defrost thermostat and the Defrost Heater Assembly for continuity with my multimeter.
