The evaporator fan is not working now even though the freezer is cold and I have the damper in the fridge open so it is cold. What is the best guess of which part is bad? Thanks

It turned out to be a mother board on the back of the frige. It seems to be a recurring common problem with these model GE's according to the technician I spoke with.
