When the timer sticks in the cooling cycle, the coils frost over. Might try
to find a different supplier for defrost timers.

The fact that it is cooling (at all) means it's worth fixing.

The defrost heater only works when the bimetal (round thing about an inch
big and two wires) is cold.

With the new timer, did the fridge work for awhile?

Do good work.
It's longer in the short run
but shorter in the long run.

OOOhhh we just went to the homepage that is in your signature and found
a whole walkthrough on how to fix frost free problems.
Well... we opened up the freezer floor and what do you know.. the coils
are all iced up! so with my hair dryer we melted it. Now we cant hear
the defrost heater working at all.
Could this have been the problem? defrost heater doesnt work means the
timer doesnt work because they are connected - or are these 2 seperate
problems?

I am getting really worried that we will need a new fridge as there is
so much to fix. I appreciate any help!!
