Remove these wires from the control board and measure the resistance between them. Post the result.

This reading shows there is a short somewhere in the defrost circuit. Normal resistance should be about 22 Ohms. Do not use the refrigerator until it's fixed or it'll damage the new control board. You have to remove the rear panel in the freezer and check the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat for continuity.
