My defroster is not working and the evaporator keeps freezing over. I have replaced the defrost timer and defrost thermostat. When I take an Ohm reading it is at 34.5 Ohm. The tech sheet says I should get a reading of + or - 29 Ohm. Seems to be close to the + or - range, could the problem be with the heater?

Your defrost heater looks OK to me.

When you force a defrost I am assuming that the heater does not come on.

Did you check the defrost thermostat before installing it?
Just to be sure that it was OK.
It can be checked by holding it's face onto an ice cube to see if it will close.
