I have Frigidaire model: FRS26LF8CS8, the Evap fan motor part is 5303918549. The new part with the harness is different from mine & I don't know how to modify it, plus some of my old wires also broke off from the 6-pin plug. I bought the used one on eBay, it exactly matches but the defrost heater plugs are smaller so I switched the plug parts only. I measure the motors, I got 135 ohms on the brand-new motor & 89.3 ohms on the used one. The problem is the used fan motor attempted to turn for 1 sec. & stop. What is the good ohms range for a good fan motor? Is my used fan motor good or bad? Or maybe the bearing is bad on the used fan motor (from another youtube video)? My freezer is cold & will freeze food, my fridge is also cold (I don't know the temp). I notice the water on the bottom of the fridge turns into ice. I suspect that it's either the defrost heater or the control board (or the evap motor). How to test the control board if it's good or bad? Please help!!!
