Yep. It was the control unit. Found one on ******** for 90.
KENMORE REFRIGERATOR CONTROL BOARD PART# W10172546. He had another one for sale for like 125. Its in a white box in the back of the fridge next to the compressor kind of. 2 screw on the back will let that box come out easily.

I pulled off the back panel and tested the heater coil and the thermostat and both are showing continuity. So this leads me to believe it is the control board. However on sears parts direct i see a control board inside of the refrigerator (part # 2321723) and one on the outside back of the refrigerator (part # W10172546). Which of these 2 parts do I need? One is $60 and the other is $225, would hate to order the wrong one. Both say in description they control cooling and defrost. Did you ever get an answer or figure one out? I have a Kenmore side-by-side, compressor runs continuously, Ice build-up on evaporator coils. Defrost Heater and Thermostat continuity check ok, wondering what to do next.
