Answer

Holli, If the evaporator fan has frost building around it causing it to not turn then you would have a defrost failure and would want to check for continuity on the defrost heater and thermostat. If either does not have continutiy then it nees to be replaced. If they do have continuity then you would want to replace the defrost timer. If there is not frost clogging the fan and the fan is not spinning but has 120vac to it then the fan motor should be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
