F-DEF Error (Freezer defrost error): Separation

From Service Manual 771306, p.38:

1.Access service mode to confirm the active fault code and read stored error history.

2.Measure the heating element resistance across the terminals with the leads removed. Expected: 11 to 13 ohms.

3.Verify the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat show continuity. An open safety in series with the element produces a no-heat fault even when the element tests good.
