That would also be my best guess.

You could unplug the unit and measure from P1-2 to P1-3 on the mother board (defrost heater and defrost thermostat).
It should be in the 20 to 30 ohm range.
If OK then odds are very high that it is the board.

Note the coils must be frozen so that the defrost thermostat is closed when doing the check.

yea, the whole coils were pretty covered up with ice. cleared it up with hot water last night, but as of this morning, covereded again with ice. how much is the mother board? I will check the ohms .

It is item 18 in section 11.

One advantage of purchasing from AppliancePartsPros is that you can return the board if it does not fix your problem.
