Did you replace both defrost heaters and the thermostat?

How the evaporator is covered with ice and/or snow?

Replaced both items, and the evaporator is covered with ice/snow. Tripped the defrost timer and heard a beeping sound from the freezer section.

How it is covered - 100% or less? Is it snow or ice?

There is nothing in the freezer what can beep. May be that sound was kind of sizzling?

evaporator is covered in snow, 80%. Noise is the evaporator motor which is spinning slowly and has what appears to be rust around the bottom.

Most likely this is the problem. The new motor should fix it. Unfortunately it is on the manufacturer back order. You can call the APP customer service to find out the ETA.
