I think my entire problem was the bimetal defrost thermostat, as it was somewhat bulged out on the plastic side.
The evaporator coils would freeze over--the evap. fan wo ... Read more uld not work and the cold water dispenser would not work. I did't have time to just replace one part at a time so I ordered all three parts that have to do with the defrosting of the evap. coils.
The parts worked and the refrig. is operating fine. Thanks to parts select for a super fast delivery(one day).

Cut the zip-tie holding the thermostat wires.
Un-clip bi-metal thermostat from metal coolant line. Disconnect the thermostat electrical connections (use pliers if difficult).
Connect the new thermostat wires.
Clip the new thermostat to the ... Read more coolant line.
zip-tie the wires again.

It takes about 10 minutes for the thermostat to turn on the freezer fan after power-on if the freezer is room temperature.
