So I assume it's either the freezer thermistor, thermostat or the heater? Any other options? As a side note I have the freezer temp set at +6 and it's still way cold in the freezer! This seems to be the freezer thermistor (+harness) Whirlpool W10196195 Harns-Wire - AppliancePartsPros.com Any idea on what the thermostat part is? I cannot find it for the freezer. Help appreciated. I am a novice. Any manuals or tips to help me troubleshoot appreciated.

I was told W10165425 is the thermostat Whirlpool W10165425 Bimetl-Def - AppliancePartsPros.com but the model number check fails. Any ideas? Should I also be trying to check continuity on other parts like heater etc? And thank you for helping!
