    If there is a lot of frost on the back wall of the freezer, (inside) it's not defrosting. The typical cause for this is the defrost heater. ( behind the back panel in the freezer at the bottom) Unplug the unit. Remove the defrost heater and check it with and ohmmeter. If it's open, replace it. Replacement part # should be WR51X10101
