Answer Hello R Brown. No, it is not the temperature control. There has to be a wiring issue if the heater, thermostat, and timer are all new and the unit does not defrost. This is the complete defrost cycle components.
Can you explain why the freezer section is cold but the refrigerator section is not? Everything placed there do not get cold.

Answer Hello Sansukai. Check for frost on the back wall inside the freezer. If there is some there, It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
