I have a Kenmore coldspot side by side. We noticed it getting warm in the freezer and ice melting. The back panel would frost over. I will run for 3-5 days then just stop cooling enough. So this makes me think a defrost issue. I pulled off the back panel and tested the heater coil and the thermostat and both are showing continuity. So this leads me to believe it is the control board. However on sears parts direct i see a control board inside of the refrigerator (part # 2321723) and one on the outside back of the refrigerator (part # W10172546). Which of these 2 parts do I need? One is $60 and the other is $225, would hate to order the wrong one. Both say in description they control cooling and defrost.

I have a Kenmore side-by-side, compressor runs continuously, Ice build-up on evaporator coils. Defrost Heater and Thermostat continuity check ok, wondering what to do next.

Yep. It was the control unit. Found one on ******** for 90.
KENMORE REFRIGERATOR CONTROL BOARD PART# W10172546. He had another one for sale for like 125. Its in a white box in the back of the fridge next to the compressor kind of. 2 screw on the back will let that box come out easily.
