I finally was able to get everything out of the freezer, and into another one. I removed the bottom access panel in the freezer side, and as you said, it was like a solid block of ice. I located the defrost timer behind the front lower cover at the bottom of the unit. I turned the defrost timer knob until it clicked as suggested. The heater came on and the ice started melting off. After several minutes, the compressor came back on and the unit stauted to get cold again. All of the ice wasn't melted off, so I ran the defrost cycle again. I watched the timer knob, and it was turning as time progressed. After several minutes, again the compressor came on , and the refridgerator is getting cold as I am typing this. Does this indicate the defrost timer is bad?
