compressor works ok.

evaporator coil freezes.

evaporator fan works only if i disconnect it and hot wire it. then it runs good.

timer seems ok. i advance it until it turns off compressor then ticks about 15 min

and then compressor comes on again.

i can't find defrost heater to check it.

If the fridge is defrosting there is nothing wrong with the heater.

Check the wiring from the door switch.

Here is a link to your fridge model sgd22tw.

The defrost heater is behind the panel in the freezer on the evaporator coil.
