Evaporator Thermistor
This sensor monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils to determine when to terminate the defrost cycle. If the thermistor drifts out of its calibrated resistance range, the control board may never initiate a defrost cycle, leading to a 'glacier' effect on the coils that blocks all airflow and prevents the unit from maintaining set temperatures.

Defrost Heater Assembly
The defrost heater is responsible for physically melting accumulated frost from the evaporator fins during the timed defrost interval. If the heating element has an open circuit (electrical continuity failure), frost will continually build up until the evaporator fan can no longer circulate air, resulting in a warm cabinet despite the compressor running.

Drawer Gasket
A compromised or torn magnetic gasket allows warm, moisture-laden room air to enter the refrigerated space. Because the 700BR has a small internal volume, this high latent heat load causes rapid condensation and freezing on the cold evaporator surfaces, eventually overwhelming the defrost system and creating significant ice buildup.
