The defrost heater is most likely so check that first.

Disconnect the wires and remove the heater to access the terminals. Set your meter ohms and test across the heater terminals. If it is open replace it. Note that at times this heater will read very high ohms (20,000 or so) this would also indicate a bad heater. I don’t know the exact ohms but it should be something like 20-50 ohms or so.

If the heaters check out ok post back and we will go from there.
