    Did you get a good look at the evaporator when you went defrosting with the hairdryer, when clogged up with ice there is normally quite a lot so you may need to take another look. the fan motor in there also needs to run to circulate the coldness, a diy way of testing is to activate the light switch which should bring in the motor.. Also are you sure the compressor motor is running continuous.

    pull out the fridge and check that the compressor is running, it will have a suction line and a high side pipes, the narrow one is the high side and should be hot/warm if the unit has enough of gas. if the narrow line is warm to touch plug out the unit and go back to the evap, I would suspect it is still clogged with ice which can happen due to one of the doors being left partially open or it may have defective defrost heater/sensor
