I replaced the fan motor but no help. Yesterday, I took off the inside back panel of the refrigerator and found most of the coils covered with ice. I noticed that the heater at the bottom of the coils was not hot. I disconnected the heater and it has continuity. It measured about 28 ohms which looks like it is OK. Any suggestions as to what I can do to make the heater do its job and defrost the coils. Thanks for any help you can give. John

The thermistor Post the results. Best regards. Gene.
