Your defrost is not working most likely. We need to unplug and remove the rear panel in the back of freezer and have a look. If frozen over defrost with a hair dryer. Then we need to look at the defrost heater below the ice over evaporator coil. If we need to replace the defrost heater we need to also change the defrost thermostat, Thanks and please rate my solution, Sea Breeze

- Defrost controls are done through the main control mother board Part 1531075 . The same board has this part number also WR55X10942 I was hoping not to mention that until we checked the parts I listed first. We need to unplug and examime both sidesof the board for burn marks or signs of heat damage. Thanks Sea Breeze

Sounds like there is something malfunctioning in the defrost sub-system -- there are many possibilities, such as malfunctioning timer or timer circuit board, open heating element, corroded connections, etc.
