Thank you You can manually turn the defrost timer until it clicks. This will put the unit into the defrost mode. If you have the rear wall of the freezer removed you should be able to see the heater and defrost thermostat. If the heater starts glowing and you see the frost melting, the timer is bad. If nothing happens, then you'll need a meter to either Ohm out the defrost stat and the heater, or check to see if you have voltage going to them. Need to use care if you decide to make live checks. Below is a link to the defrost timer location in the fresh food section. It's behind the cover up at the top. Model TFX22PRXBWW
