Did you check any of the parts that you replaced with a meter before replacing them
Try forcing a defrost see the tech sheet.
Note that the defrost thermostat must be frozen for the defrost heater to come on. If the heater comes on then the main control board needs replacing as it is not programming a defrost cycle. Be careful that you do not burn your fingers.
If the defrost heater does not come on. Unplug the unit and check between P1-3 and P1-2 at the control board. It should be about 20 ohms (heater resistance). If this is OK then I would replace the main control board.
