I have read a ton about the defrost process. I found that I can force defrost mode by toggling the light switch 5 times in 6 seconds. And the evaporator heater works great (the burn on my finger being proof). Since my fridge uses a bimetal thermostat, and doesn't have a timer, but a control board (I believe). Does the fact that it goes into defrost inidicate the bimetal thermostat is okay? I tried to take it out to check it w/ meter, but cant get the pins out of the plug, so I'm leary of damaging it if its working perfectly. Any help / advice is greatly appreciated.

You will need to replace the adaptive defrost timer. (241736601)

I've been defrosting by toggling the light switch and forcing the cycle. But now that won't work. I haven't replaced the adaptive defrost control yet - should I get the thermostat defrost now as well? Maybe forcing it made it go bad? Help?

help! I replaced the adaptive defrost timer per your suggestion. When I plugged it in, it heated the coils immediately. I thought my fridge was going to be great! So I didn't check it but 6 days later, it was warm in the fridge side and I opened the freezer side to see a ton of frost. Now when I click the switch to try and force it, it won't force it. Any ideas? Could it possibly be the wiring harness? This fridge is only 2 years old and looks brand new! Thanks!
