I replaced the defrost timer and the heater and the fuse on breaker blows when it goes into defrost. Any suggestions?

Could be, something in the defrost circuit is shorted to the case, might by-pass it for a test only and check the wiring for a bare wire touching metal...

I went step by step first I turned the defrost timer to defrost, the new heater worked it came on and turned red. then I turned the defrost timer to come out of defrost and the breaker blew could the thermostat be the problem? once I get out of the defrost cycle the breaker can be reset.

You could have a shorted wire right by the defrost timer, just look for arc marks.
