hiya,
YES !!! this has indeed solved my problem, no more icing up atall , i am very please,

There are 6 screws holding the back cover to the rear of the freezer dept, remove these and gently slide out the evap fan is indeed connected by 2 wires into a small junction box top right back of freezer, release the flap catch and the cover comes away, then tug and a wriggle a little at the connector for the evap fan, it will pull out, was a little stiff, its hard to see as its tucked right up the top corner ,

once out , you can now separate the housing i think there is about 4 or 6 screws holding it together, once separated you will see the block of ice blocking the flow channels.

hope that helps

An update……

The hair drier was causing a constant water to drip from the internal channels, so i decided to separate the polystyrene evap fan housing from the plastic cover to reveal the internal cold air flow channels, there are 8 cold air flow output channels in total, and to my surprise there was a 2″ thick 5″ across ,piece of solid ice just below the evap fan, blocking all the cold air flow channels, so there was no cold air flow at all.
I have now removed all this ice and put back together.

I have on 2 occasions thawed the freezer dept , but clearly as this was hidden within the evap fan housing i was unable to see it, so the issue persisted.
i do know that the door was left ajar a few months ago, this must allowed moist air in and this ice to build up here and that was that a blockage was created.

I will update if this has cured the issue.

thanks again

Thanks , I can confirm the fan is operating , however if I spin at speed I can Hear it catch on what must be Solid ice

I have Now removed the rear Panel that contains the fan and it appears x3 of the air channels are blocked with ice ,, this may have initially been caused by the freezer door left open ,, I am now using a hair drier to remove the Cold Air flow Channel blockages , once removed and the cold air flow is fully restored I hope this will resolve my issue
I will update ,
thanks again

Thanks for the reply Dave,
yeah,I am hoping to get an output from the supply connector that supplies to the fan also, to prove the fan is indeed faulty..
