GE Refrigerator PFE29PSDASS condenser fan cycling

Starting a week or so ago occasionally herd a fan 'cycle'...run for 2-3 seconds, then spin down and immediately back up. As of today it's doing it constantly. I have cleaned out the condenser coils and verified that its the condenser fan making the noise, I have run the diagnostic test #49 as mentioned in another post and it cycles at around 1700-1750, but it will dip to +/- 0, 420, 1200 mostly it stays in the 1700 range.

I believe it to be the circuit board as the main problem and possibly the fan, but it does spin based on the reading on this site and others.   I plan on replacing the circuit board and fan at the same time.  If my logic is off please let me know.

When replacing the circuit board, is it just a plug in and replace or is there any type of setup/programing that needs to happen

Any help or insight would be greatly appreaciated

Mike

Here is the link to a very good discussion I had with brother Durham a few years ago. Hope this will help you

to decide on board or fan. BTW I hardwired the fan as suggested by Durham and fridge is still good !!

Thanks for responding to my question, site will not allow me to access the link as my membership a non appliance  tech. 

I am leaning to just replacing the board and fan and that should fix my issues if I have troubleshooted them properly
