My having a tough time getting my cheese cave\wine fermentor to go below 15c.
In the winter when I first got the fridge this wasnt an issue but now when temp reach 30-32c it keeps icing up which in result needs defrosting which in results overflows the water holding bowl.
I noticed recently that the evaporator fan is was not working (I assume a wire got disconnected while I was transporting it from the seller's house to mine or the motor is just faulty, the fridge is about 8 years old so its possible that the motor has died)

Are the problems described correspond to evaporator fan not running?

Try to ask for advice here:

Well the motor was fine,
For some reason the main control board is not giving out voltage to the fan motor power harness.
I hacked an old german AC->DC convertor which has max output voltage of 12v 1A, slipped the cables through the seal gaskets and it works really well but I have no idea how much power Im wasting with this improv.
I cant believe the chill blast Im getting now when opening the door.
I just run the fridge an hour ago and adjusted to 14c. (ambient is 30c)
I hope it wont ice up now and the compressor wont have to run almost constantly to keep that temp.
