Answer Hello Joseph. Your old bi-metal has two wires going to it. You will need to cut these wires and wire in the new bi-metal. You do not need to connect it to a wire harness, if you splice it with the old wires. Hope this helps.

Answer You will need to test and see if you have power coming to the fan motor. It could be the defrost board, air baffle assembly, or the thermostat causing this problem. You can test the defrost board by seeing if you have power coming from the red wire on it. Then go to the air baffle and see if you have voltage coming out of the red/white wire on it. The thermostat sends power to the defrost board out of the red wire from it and the orange wire from it.

Answer Hello Joseph, The defrost heater should show between 21O to 27O. If it showed no resistance, did you mean it is infinite as in no connection? If so, the defrost heater 2323198 has failed. If it is reading properly, the most likely cause of the failure is the adaptive defrost control W10366604. Be aware that when the issue is resolved, the defrost circuit is not designed to remove any more frost and ice than would normally accumulate between defrost cycles. For this reason, a hair dryer should be used to remove any excess ice and frost build-up before putting the unit back into normal operation.

Answer Hello Maddog1964. 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 

Jt for Model Number GS2SHGXLS01

Answer Hello JT, instead of a mechanical timer, your model has an adaptive defrost control board W10366604 that you might check. It's mounted in the control housing. You might also check the defrost heater 2323197 mounted to your evaporator. Hope this helps!
