I have a voltage meter but have no idea what a defrost looks like or the heater in the fridge but I'm very willing to learn and save myself a few bucks. I'm a computer science engineer, how hard can this be? Please help!, My food is currently on plastic ice coolers. Thank you in advance! guanacux attached the following image(s):

After I placed a fan to defrost the ice built up (on the picture), I reconnected the fridge last night and I will check if the compressor is hot and see about the temperature. I'm asumming it will be cold when I get there tonight but I might run into the same problems of not defrosting properly. I will post back my results tonight. If it's hot and vibrating, is it easy to replace?
