Ordered a defrost assembly kit and a thermostat. Don't need a thermostat, the assembly kit comes complete with one.
After watching the "How To" video with Matt, the repair was easy. Quick as an oil change. The video was crucial. I would have clipped the thermostat to the wires instead of the evaporator tubing. That would have been wrong.
Thanks to you guys I've cheaply fixed my still new looking refrigerator/freezer cheaply, and thwarted my wife's plans to blow $1,000+ on a new one.
Parts arrived in just a couple days.
