I've read through previous posts for this fridge and done all the troubleshooting steps that were previously recommended to other folks, including replacing the following parts:

1. Replaced Fan Motor at the end of August
Fan Motor EAU61524007


Fully defrosted with warm/hot water, dried with a towel and hairdryer. Lasted for about a month and a half and then the coils are frozen, evap fan noise against the ice buildup again

2. Ordered and replaced defrost control assembly Oct 8th
6615JB2005R Controller Assembly


Same thing, fully defrosted with warm water, dried, checked the drainage, no blockage - evap fan noise on ice buildup again

3. Ordered Control Board and defrost heater and replaced both on November 12th
EBR75234712 Pcb Assembly,main


Freezer Defrost Heater MEE62225101


Same thing, and here we are.

It may/may not be related, but the ice maker is inconsistent in refilling - replaced the water filter back in August also.

Ice Build up on coils

"Ice" or white snow-like "frost"? It is an important distinction. Please post a clear photo of the condition when it occurs again.

Here you go. The ice and frost buildup is only on the top this time (before it was on the entire thing). Thanks in advance for any help.

That is a sign of a refrigeration system problem. You'll need to call a trained refrigeration technician to look into the actual cause. There is no part replacing that will correct it.
