i have now taken the false wall out of the inside back of the freezer....the coil was completely frozen over....i thawed with a hair dryer.....any further ideas on what is next would be greatly appreciated. i know that it will only be about a 2 wk fix from what i've been able to find on my own, however i don't know what to do next, or what to repair.

at the bottom of the coils you heated with the hairdryer is the defrost heater. A metal bracket with a glass tube. Look at the glass tube, is it all blackened? If you need to remove it to look, it is held by 2 screws, and there is a pink and blue wire connecting to the heater.

yes it is blackened.....or greenish black in color.....but i had already plugged it back in to test the piece that clips onto the coil....don't really know what that is....i'm guessing it is the thermostat defrost...to see if it makes a noise or if it is overheated or if it even tells it to defrost..the coils have frost covering them and waiting to see if it defrosts or continues to frost. would that be a logical step? or i'm guessing here...if it is blackened the heater is bad and i should just replace that and see if the thermostat is bad later or replace both.

I would replace the heater, the thermostat most likely is good.
