What is the make and model number of the refrigerator.
Have you checked that the door switches are electrically OK? The door switches are used not only to turn on/off the lights in the compartments but are also used to signal that a door is open/shut and to turn off/on the evaporator fan
In most refrigerators the evaporator fan will operate as long as the compressor is running and ''both the doors'' are shut. If either door is opened the fan will stop but the compressor will keep running. As soon as the door is shut the evap fan will start again
If the door switches are visible in the door jamb i.e. not hidden magnetic switches, manually operate the freezer door switch to fool the control board that the door is shut. The light in the freezer (if there is one) should turn off and the evap fan should turn on.

If still no good check that the refrigerator compartment light turns on and off when the refrigerator compartment door switch is released and then manually operated.

Also check that the refrigerator compartment light turns on and off when the refrigerator compartment door switch is released and then manually operated.

Have you checked for voltage at the fan motor? ''Be safety aware'' if you try this as a lot of evap fans operate at mains voltage supply i.e. 120V AC or 240V AC depending on your location.
