Default Refrigerator freezes
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 363.50232000
Age: 5 - 10 years

My refrigerator freezes even though I replaced defrizz controller ( timer ). When fridge was in defrost cycle the defrost heater did not light up. Then I used hair drier to speed up melting process and suddenly the heater started up and turned itself to cherry red color. This happened only once. I played with controller several times changing processes from cooling to heating and I was checking voltage on wires coming to heater. There was no voltage at all.
Is there any other part I should check and replace? I need quick advice, the weather is hot!!! 90 F. THANKS.

Once the freezer is defrosted the heater will not come back on until the temperature is 32 degrees.

You have likely solved your problem.
