I replaced the heater and spliced a new wire in yesterday and it seems that the compressor has been running constantly ever since. How long should it run before it goes into the defrost cycle? Could I have a bad thermister too? It was cycling fine before I replaced the heater, it was just frozen over. The repair guy who looked at it said he thought the main board was fine. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
