The unit has been cleaned yet the fan that cools the copressor is not working
That is then the first thing you will need to insure is running. The fan can be removed and checked. Now if the compressor is not running I would believe you have another problem. You can hear or feel the compressor running and the fan is usually connected to the compressor wiring so they both should be running at the same time. I have seen the fans run for a short period of time after the refrigerator was turned off and then back on after cooling, so if stopped and starting of the condenser fan can at times trick you to believe the fan is OK
Hope I have been helpful, Sea Breeze

If the evaporator fan is not running. The fan itself could be faulty or the door operated light/fan switch could be faulty.
If the evaporator fan is running. The fridge is not defrosting and ice has built up on the evaporator and the air is not circulating properly into the fridge compartment. The fan circulates cold air into the fridge and back through the fridge control which is normally just an adjustable flap which allows more or less cold into the fridge depending on the setting. If the fridge is not defrosting, the defrost timer could be faulty or heater element could be blown.

We have a roper model number RT21LMXKQ02 and the freezer froze and the frig stopped holding cold. My son scraped out the ice and removed the bottom freezer panel and drained the water from the underneath. We than turned the temp to off and let it drain more. When my son went back to turn on the frig only the light comes on. What should we do?
