The motor is running and the freezer fan on top works , but there is no cold air coming out into the freezer. The condenser fan to the fridge runs for about 30 seconds then stops. Any advice how i can solve this?

My neighbor has the same fridge and it works. i pulled the condenser fan from his and put it in my fridge. It also spinned for 15 seconds and stopped. The problem isnt with the fan motor. I was hoping you could tell me where the problem lies. Thermostat? Defroster? I dont know.
