Hi Chuck,

Most likely the problem is a bad defrost heater. I do not think there is something wrong with the timer.

- The part number for the defrost heater assembly is AP2071523

,the back of the freezer was a big chunk of ice,i defrosted it,,
it looks like i can manual defrost by unplugging? until I can find out what the defrost part looks like i need to replace sometime.

If you can post a pictures of the fridge, it might help to provide more accurate advise.

Whirlpool model ED5RHEXNL00
noticed yesterday that the fridge was warm but freezer was still nice and cold. We cleaned off the coils underneath (they were full of dust) and the fridge still hours later is at 50 degrees. No frost in the back of the fridge anywhere inside or out. Poured a tiny bit of water through the drain hole and that is open and clear. Fan is running. Can feel cold air coming out of the top vent into the fridge. What do we try next????

Remove the rear panel in the freezer and check how is the evaporator coil covered with frost. If it's covered only partially then there is a problem with the sealed system which has 5 years manufacturer warranty. In such case you have to call Whirlpool for free service.
