frost builds up in freezer section and refrigerator stops working slowly. manually defrost for 24-48 hours and starts working perfect. Goes through the cycle again after a week. How can i check to see if it is the Defrost TImer or the Defrost Elements.

It is your defroster. Check your defrost timer, then the defrost heater and then the defrost thermostat. Defrost timer is in the control area of fridge. Heater and thermostat is behind the panel inside the back of the freezer. See how to check here. Refrigerator Repair Guide: How To Fix a Refrigerator - ACME HOW TO.com
