There’s an intermittent fan type noise that seems to be coming from the fridge section. The noise stops when the door is opened making it hard to hear correctly. I entered Forced Operations, FF step, to make sure all the fans are running. I opened the left fridge section door, defeated the door switch using a magnet, and listened to the fans. Sounds like it’s coming from behind the evaporator cover.

Kraig,
You did everything right so far, if you remove the cover, check for ice build up at the top of the evaporator. If ice is present, this indicates partial defrost. Remove all the ice from the evaporator and fan, and then make sure the defrost sensor is facing to the left side. If the defrost sensor was embedded in ice, replace it. In most cases, it is not necessary to replace the evaporator cover.
If the noise had originated in that ice room, you can check for ice or frost at the fan and replace the auger motor/fan assembly if necessary.
