If those components are running and the evaporator fan is not, I would with a multimeter check power to the evaporator fan motor, if no power check the wiring and possibly the defrost thermostat.

Joan, your model does not have a mechanical defrost timer, it has an adaptive defrost control board that is integrated into the main control in the back of the cabinet. The more likely problem with this model, if you are having defrost issues, would be the defrost heater or bi-metal that is located in the freezer section behind the rear panel.

Pat, the WR9X482 / WR9X482 Defrost Control is located behind the kickplate grille, on the bottom of the refrigerator. It's usually located attached to the inside of the center support frame. Remove power, remove the kickplate, remove two screws and slide the timer and bracket out the opening in the lower frame, remove the timer from the bracket. Reverse the procedures, restore power and check for operation.

Godfrey, The contacts for the motor circuit will be 3 to 1 on the defrost timer and should have a resistance reading of between 860 and 2970 ohms. There should be continuity between 2 and 3 when in the defrost cycle and continuity between 3 and 4 in the run for the compressor.
