Fresh Food Evaporator Fan Motor
This DC motor circulates air over the fresh food evaporator coils. Moisture ingress often causes the internal circuitry to fail or the bearings to seize, leading to a total loss of airflow. Without airflow, the evaporator quickly accumulates a thick layer of frost that blocks the cooling paths, resulting in a 'frozen' coil but a warm refrigerator compartment.

Defrost Thermistor
This sensor monitors the temperature of the evaporator to signal the end of the defrost cycle. If the thermistor's resistance drifts out of spec, the control board may fail to initiate defrost cycles or terminate them prematurely. This leads to excessive ice accumulation on the evaporator fins, choking off airflow and causing the cooling failure described.

Main Electronic Control Board
The control board manages the timing of the defrost heater and the operation of the evaporator fans. A failed relay or logic circuit on the board can prevent the defrost heater from energizing or the fan from spinning. This is considered the secondary failure point if the individual components (fan and thermistor) are found to be mechanically and electrically sound.
