Locate the defrost timer in the control panel.
There will be two screws with a knob in between.
With the compressor running turn the knob until the compressor shuts off.
The fridge will then be in the defrost cycle.
The defrost cycle will last 20 to 25 minutes.
If the fridge does not start back up you will have to turn the knob on the timer again to start the fridge.
Check and see if the fridge defrosted if it did you have a faulty timer.
If it did not defrost you have a faulty heater or bi metal thermostat.
