Default 12 cu ft frost free fridge not cooling properly

According to the fridge's wiring diagram, measuring for continuity
between the orange wire of the test plug and the brown wire going to the
defrost timer will determine whether the defrost thermostat is making
the circuit to the defrost heater or breaking the circuit to the defrost
heater. I did that and got no continuity through the defrost
thermostat. So, the defrost thermostat is breaking the continuity to
the defrost heater.


Termination thermostat closes about 25F (or colder)
and opens about 45F or warmer. Was the freezer cold
when you tested?

Do you see snow on the panel that covers the evaporator?
