Samsung rl36sbms problems

[gumpclipper]

hi, the fridge cools and the freezer freezes for a couple of hours, then starts to warm. From what ive read with the frost free freezers they have a defrost cycle with a heater,i feel the problem lies with this componant, is it possible to unplug it and run the fridge with out it to isolate the problem or would it more likely be a temp sensor in the fridge or freezer. Thanks for any help.

Would try the thermal fuse first as when the heater goes open circuit it mostly blows the fuse. I have found that its mostly the fuses in that model.
