Ice Maker Fan Fail on LG Refrigerator. What do do while parts are arriving? AND, having trouble locating a part. appliancerepair

I have an LG LFX31925SW/00 refrigerator. The serial number is 110KRKS1S549. I had been recently getting error code IF, which is the ice maker fan. In the past, this has been caused by my kids not closing the door well and the back icing up, which was rectified with a hair drier.

Well, this happened yesterday, and I got the ice off, kicked the breaker off for 30 seconds and then restarted and things were good. It happened 2-3 more times with no ice buildup I could see. I am letting it defrost a bit to see if the ice fan motor is frozen where I can't see.

Looks like worst case I need to replace ice fan motor and control board to be safe. It seems as if when this error hits the refrigerator part shuts down. Is there anything I can do to disable this error (unplug something on the control board) until the parts get here?

Also, I have found the control board in stock at a good price, but I am having trouble finding the fan blower. Is there an OEM part I could be looking for?

Thanks!
