    How did you test the heater? Did you test for power to the heater when the unit goes into its defrost cycle?

    In a self defrosting refrigerator the 3 parts that go bad are:

    1. Defrost heater faulty.
    2. Defrost limit switch faulty.
    3. Defrost timer faulty.

    Well, you changed out the heater so it's #2 or #3 that went bad.
