My refrigerator is about 1.5 years old and the automatic defrost is not working. The freezer is cold but the refrigerator is warm. Can you help me troubleshoot the broken part. I did a manual defrost just now. After removing the back panel in the freezer I could not immediately identify the defrost components.

Without looking at the diagram, there is either gonna be a glass heater, or a black calrod type heater, you will want to take the leads off of the heater, and take a continuity reading of the heater

Please explain what you mean by continuity reading of the heater.

Do you own a multimeter?
What symptoms led you to believe the defrost is not working?
