MBB2256GEW is the model # of this maytag bottom freezer. It appears that a component in the defrost cycle has failed as this is now the 2nd time in 3 weeks that the freezer coils have iced up. What do you suggest? I've read most of your posts and am very impressed with your knowledge. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction!
Thanks in advance.

What's called the "defrost terminator" in the wiring diagram, has a bulged look to it. The inner blue plastic has started to pop out of its aluminum cup.Resistance across this is ~30 kohmsWhat's called the "defrost terminator" in the wiring diagram, has a bulged look to it.

Most refrigerators utilize an electrical heater coil to prevent freeze-ups. your coil has most likely failed. hard to pinpoint without being there, however, i would check its resistance with an ohm-meter with power off: if no resistance, then coil is burned out. look for around 2 ohms

OK, I get a consistent reading of 30.9 ohms
