I have replaced the capacitor switch. The motor runs but the fan in the top of the box doesn't turn on
There is a switch above the door; check you have power from it when closed, then check the evaporator is cold enough as there is a thermistor that stops the fan until it is beginning to freeze. Lastly check the fan blade isn't stuck and the motor is ok.

Most all commercial freezers have some sort of fan delay/ defrost termination device. Commonly called a "Klixon" (pronounced clicks-on). It is a device that is attached to the evap. It's function is to terminate the defrost cycle when the evap reaches a certain temp, say about 50 degrees or so, to ensure there is no build up of frost/ ice on the evap. It then allows the compressor to run, and cool the evap down to a reasonable temp., say about 20 degrees, and then let the evap fan come on. It prevents overloading the compressor during a high temp condition, and it also prevents circulating warm air left from the defrost cycle. I believe this device is most likely your problem. With no air circulating, the box will no cool down.. I have seen them burn and/or slhort internally. They can come apart. too. I would look here for that problem. the True manufacturing website does not give alot of info on this piece of equipment, such as a wiring diagram but manuals are available.
Check this out and let me know how it comes out.
SOURCE: We have a true T49F freezer and the evaporator
Freezers have a sensor that is referred to as a "Fan Delay/Defrost Terminator". It senses the temp during the defrost cycle. Usually, when the evap temp reaches about 50 degrees, there should not be any frost or ice on it. This device terminates the defrost cycle. It also keeps the fans off so warm air is not circulated. When the evap gets to about 20 degress or so, the sensor switches on the evap fans. If the fans are not coming on, either the sensor is bad or the evap is not reaching the proper temp to cause the sensor to turn on the fans.
Hope is helps to clear up some things and point you in a direction as to what might be going on.
SOURCE: I have an Amana TR21S4W refrigerator/top freezer.
I replaced the condenser fan and everything is working again.
Testimonial: "i solved this problem myself... hopefully someone else can learn from this?"
SOURCE: true upright freezer. coil fan not running.
Let it run. Coil temperature has to be low enough for the fan delay switch to close.
