I looked at the schematics, i think the timer is on the bottom right hand side behind the kick plate. But i dont know how to take out. is this really the right area. Also, where can i find the defrost thermostat? :o

It's inline with your heater.Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL GB2SHKXKQ00 \| AppliancePartsPros.com Your timer is accessed from the front behind the kick panel which is at the floor you remove it by removing the screws holding it to a bracket.

And for the defrost thermostat, i cant tell on the diagram where i would access. will i do it from the back or from the refrigerator in the front. NOt sure by looking at the diagram.

I can't tell by the picture for sure. It looks like two screws holding in unless it just clamps in. The defrost thermostat, heater and evaporator are in the freezer behind a panel on the back.
