Pull back panel off and check frost pattern, completely frosted or partial? Post results.

I did pull off the panel but it was already thawed. I disconnected the dial last night because it would not turn off even in the off position.

it did get so cold that the dial was frozen. i used a hairdryer to thaw it and now it moves freely.
