I've looked up parts and found a "thermostat defrost" and "heater & bracket ASM". Could either of these be my problem and if so got any steps for removal and replacement. I hate to guess as I live several miles out of the nearest town. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP :)

It should show continuity. If not it's bad. The defrost thermostat is clamped to the coils which have the ice buildup on them. There's two wires. It should show continuity when cold and not when warm. It's bad if it doesn't. If those are ok then its your main control board, part 801 on your diagram of your Sealed system & mother board. http://http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=210323
