I'm testing the defrost timer, defrost thermostat, and defrost heater because my freezer side keeps icing over the evaporator coils. To make the defrost thermostat sufficiently cold, I'm surrounding it with a ziploc bag of ice water. The ohmmeter isn't budging when I measure it either in the bag or out. Does this mean I have a bad thermostat?
