Every week or so I have to manually defrost the freezer. The freezer coils have heavy ice I defrost with hair dryer. Once I put everything back and turn on it works great. I tested the defrost heater resistance and looks good. Any suggestions?

Pull the back motherboard cover and locate the 3 pin power connector. Remove the connector and place a wire jumper between the connector mating pins marked line and def. Plug fridg in, if you fail to get defrost action, you probably have a bad evaporator thermostat clipped to the evaporator. If defrost action, replace the motherboard AP4436216
