Where is the defrost heating element and can it be tested with a multi meter. I don't see it in the parts list or diagram.
For model number ST14CKXKQ00

Hello Steve, Thank you for the question. The Defrost Thermostat clips to the condenser. The best way to do this is to remove the thermostat from the refrigerator so you can control the temperature of the sensor. You can let the sensor warm up to room temperature. With the sensor warmed up to room temperature the sensor should read approximately 6.2K Ohms at 68°F. With the thermistor submerged is a glass full of ice water, the sensor should be very close to 32°F which should read approximately 16.3K Ohms. If the values that you are getting are far off from these readings, then the sensor is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

Where is the defrost thermostat actually located in this freezer/refrigerator product? The part diagram is not completely clear. Is it in the refrigerator section or behind the back panel near the coils? Thank you, Andrew
