How it is covered - 100% or less? Is it snow or ice? There is nothing in the freezer what can beep. May be that sound was kind of sizzling? Gene.

Most likely this is the problem. The new motor should fix it. Unfortunately it is on the manufacturer back order. You can call the APP customer service to find out the ETA. - The evaporator fan motor Part number: AP2071868 Gene. P.S. Please don't duplicate yours replies. It does not do any good.
