I have not read the other posts, but had a similar experience w/i the year.
I have an Amana bottom freezer.
There is a defrost timer in series with a thermostat in series with the
heater element. My thermostat was bad. I had 110v to the thermostat, but
0v to the heater element when the defrost timer was on. I suppose there are
many ways out there to do this, it will depend on your unit. The mfg or
retailer might be able to give you the diagram.
