Cold freezer - warm fridge
I actually used NO parts! When I removed the coil cover the evap coils had ice ( fridge was off two hours before I arrived) i cut a tywrap holding the wires and saw it! The defrost thermostat that is in series circuit to the defrost heater had come UN Plugged. Plugged it back in and Voila heater worked finished melting ice, all good. P arts I bought are now collecting dust on top of the fridge. Since Defrost was iffy-sometimes yes sometimes no, I just bought the parts. Lesson , before buying parts might be worth having a look see for say, unplugged defrost heater thermostat.. :-/
