    The reason the frost is building up so fast is because the air isn't getting to the cold control to shut the refrigerator off.

    Checked the fan and indeed it is not operational. I will order a new one today and will post and update in a few days. Thank you for all the help.

    Ok, I installed the fan motor today and the refrigerator came back to life. It has been running for about 6 hours now. So far so good. The temp in the fridge is 50F, should it be lower or higher? Huge thanks to Rick for helping me out. He was right on the money. Your HELP is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

    Cool! Good job! For 6 hours 50*F is right on. It will go lower but needs 24 hours to stabilize.

    Thank you. Ok, now the fridge runs at 38 F. I guess it has been a couple of days and still going strong.
