The function of the evaporator fan is to force cold air from the freezer compartment into the refrigerator compartment and to circulate air over the cold evaporator coil. It is located in the freezer compartment behind the evaporator cover and fan support plate.
If the unit fails to cool and you notice an accumulation of ice on the evaporator panel, and you are suspicious of a fan motor that does not operate, or operates at a lower speed, in general, everything said about checking a condenser fan motor holds true for an evaporator fan motor. (See fig. 59)
