It will not defrost. Ice is building up on the back of the freezer and on the left side of the right hand freezer drawer. Where is the defrost timer control? Could this be the problem?

While the freezer is cold, cut out defrost thermostat and measure
resistance, if open, replace, if it's ok check defrost heater.
Temporarily
short the wires that went to the defrost thermostat and now force
defrost.
If no defrost, you have a bad adaptive defrost board.
The
thermostat cycles the refrigerator on and off. The refrigerator
normally runs as long as the temperature inside the refrigerator is
higher than the set temperature. If the temperature inside the
refrigerator is cold enough and the thermostat still does not cycle
off, the thermostat may be defective. If so, you need to replace it,
because it cannot be repaired.
If the thermostat is not defective, you
may have a problem with the sealed (refrigerant) system, in which case
you should contact a qualified appliance repair technician.
Excessive ice build up on the shelves or walls will fool the thermostat into not coming turning the compressor on
Do Not use any sharp objects to scrape or chip ice in the freezer as you may damage the coils, which are the shelves or walls in a manual defrost freezer. You can use a hair dryer, shop vac, a fan setting in front of the freezer with the door propped open or set pans of hot water on the shelves to help melt the ice. If you poke a hole in the coils and the freon leaks out, start looking for a new freezer as it will not be worth repairing.

Kenmore Elite Bottom Freezer Mod. #795 75544401 - pixel_trans.gifloads/images/pixel_trans.gif" alt="pixel_trans.gif" class="h_mi" />
the link is having proper diagrams of the timer please check it sir.thanks.and do not forget to rate the solution.
the timer is located on the rear of the unit, behind the kickplate, of in the console area
located inside the freezer, on the right side behind the white plastic panel.
Be careful when removing the white panel because a fan is mounted to the left side of the white panel and plugs into the back left side of the freezer compartment.
technical help is much advisable as it will just take 15seconds to locate the timer.
please rate the solution sir.

They are often hidden behind the back bottom corners of the fridge at the bottom, in the last few years the timers have been located in the ceiling of the fresh food section, and some behind the cold control cover.
Hope that helps.........

Where is the defrost timer control for my Kenmore Elite Bottom Freezer Model #795 75544401?

What information do you need to be able to tell me EXACTLY where the defrost timer control is located? I had already assumed it was on the fridge somewhere. Do you need the serial number also?

I will try one more time. Your answer was in great detail, but it did not answer my question. In your answer was #4 Locate the defrost timer...
That's what I've been trying to find out. Short of dismantling the fridge, WHERE IS THE DEFROST TIMER LOCATED?
A very frustrated Tenthumbs!
The serial is #601KR00406. I'm sorry to be such a pain, but I'm 73 years old and walk with two crutches, so I don't have the dexterity to go fumbling around removing unnecessary parts. I've already paid for a service call to find out that it's not defrosting. Brilliant deduction when the freezer compartment is frosting over, but the evaporator coils are frost free.

After multiple responses, I am no better off than when I asked the first question. I suppose I have no other choice but to accept the responses (including the multiple identical responses from thaurfen), but my original question was never answered.
