My Side by side refrigerator stopped working, won't freeze or cool. Looked at the back end and the fan is not spinning but will spin by hand. Cleaned out underneath the coils filled with dog hair. Any ideas?
First make sure its input power supply is as per required coming or not if its OK then check thermostat device it may can faulty kindly check it if its required then need to replace it .
Hope answer the question

look around the back of the freeze and at the bottom you will see a small black compressor .Put your hand on it and if it is running you will feel it vibrating. If it vibrating but running very hot them it means you have no gas in the system so the freezer won't freeze. If the compressor is cold and not running then it could be eaither the relay on the compressor or the board on the front either way you will need to get an engineer in

Two things to check without knowing the model number.
It is possible the drain plug was left out or not inserted correctly after defrosting and it is leaking..
Also there is sometimes an evaporator pan with a heater element on the bottom. If the heater element failed the evaporator pan would overflow.

Make sure freezer door seal is completely sealed. No gaps, Also, if you are up to the challange, you will need to remove the freezer panel, test thermometer, thermostat, for voltage and resistance. Also check that the flapper that seprates freezer from fridge air.; Is not frozen.

if it seems like the evaporator is getting cold then your sealed system should appear to be ok. you need the evap fan to transfer cold air into fresh food section. if not turning u need to replace fan motor. make sure your not getting to much frost build up on the evap.

Check rear wall of freezer by feel for frost. Heavy, even frost indicates likely problem in the defrost system. Unplug unit. Defrost heater (in freezer behind rear wall panel), defrost thermostat (same area-must be checked at freezer temperature) or Defrost timer-located lower back outside of unit. Near compressor. Do continuity test on heater and defrost thermostat and if they show continuity (good), replace defrost timer. If not, replace the one that tests bad.
Defrost coils fully. Reassemble.
Please let me know if I have helped with comments and rating.
Refrigerator will work about 7-10 days after being defrosted until thick frost builds up again cutting off air flow to both compartments
