If it's frosted up in the freezer section, defrost it manually with a hair drier, run it up and see if all seems ok, if it seems to work ok it will probably be a heater problem or a timer problem. Test heater with a ohms meter, if it is open circuit then its the heater, if it gives an ohms reading then its probably timer, test this by manually winding on with a screwdriver till it clicks and see if heater warms up, you need to do this when the thermistor has cooled enough to engage the heater. Hope this helps.
