Quick check — and when it's not DIY
The one self-check that's actually worth your time: listen for the evaporator fan running when the door's closed, since a silent fan is a common first sign. If none of that changes anything, a fan that's confirmed dead, or ice built up around it, means removing interior panels to reach it — not a quick swap without disassembly experience.
