The freezer fan will probably run 80% of the time.
You have a defrost problem and or a door seal problem if you are having a ice buildup in the freezer.

The defrost ADC is inside the control cabinet.
The heater and bi-metal are behind the freezer wall panel inside the freezer.
Use the information in the link below to test the ADC.
The bi-metal attached to the freezer coil is most likely bad.

ok so i did the two tests and after the first one the fridge began to shake a lil bit when it started running then stopped, and didn't hear anything after that on either test. did i not do them right or is it the bimetal? and what is the bimetal? is that the coils behind the freezer panel that i saw when i tried defrosting it sunday to unplug the drip hole? ok so i did the two tests and after the first one the fridge began to shake a lil bit when it started running then stopped, and didn't hear anything after that on either test. did i not do them right or is it the bimetal? and what is the bimetal? is that the coils behind the freezer panel that i saw when i tried defrosting it sunday to unplug the drip hole?
