I believe that the defrost timer needs to be replaced, and am waiting for the part to arrive. Once the part is here, and it is replaced , I would like to test the temperature controls. I am not sure if the control is stuck in closed position. Please advise how to test? Thanks for you time.

In other words, I would like to test for continuity, by using an ohmmeter. Do I have to cool the unit down first to check if the control interupts the circuit? Thank you for your reply.
