The condenser coils are clean The evaporator and condenser fans are working The compressor works The evaporator is not frosted solid The bi-metal / defrost thermostat tests OK The defrost timer tests OK The freezer temperature control tests OK (meter needle sweeps to 0) Could the freezer temperature control still be defective (not reacting to the correct temperature?)

But one thing you didn't mention-- observe the frost pattern on the evaporator. Light frost everywhere(NORMAL) or a partial pattern of ice(LOW ON FREON) or nothing(LOW FREON OR COMPRESSOR PROBLEM).

I replaced the cold control even though it tested ok. After about 24 hours to allow for the temperature to stabilize, the freezer was freezing normally.
