sub zero model 561 - coil in freezer is icing up on top and this does not allow air to flow to top portion of freezer when the fan is on. I defrosted it yesterday with a blow dryer and it that allowed the air to flow to the top portion of the freezer. Today it is iced up again. Is this a defrost issue? How can I fix it and what should be replaced? Thanks, Joe

- I found the timer and manually turned it and it seemed to turn off the compressor. I think the heater kicked in because it started to sizzle and steam (I guess thats normal) but it did not defrost completely. I helped it along with a blow dryer. The compressor turned back on and now the fan is moving air up to the top of the freezer. I'll check it again tomorrow. If the coil starts to ice up again should I replace the timer or could it be something else?
Thanks for your help
Joe

- Change the timer. The reason that you had to help was because it was not advancing, thus the ice build up
