what is the next thing to look for
or should i replace the small door on the chute and seee what happens

Hi,

Yes, thats kinda odd that the ice door chute would start frosting up after you changed your defrost thermostat.

I remember though I have replaced alot of these ice door's in the past due to frost up issues. I believe a new one will fix yours, they have upgraded them.

Here is a new one for your model you can order:

i ordered the part
a whole 13.00 with shipping hope this takes care of it
i will let you know
next question how hard is it to replace??

Its fairly easy, just remove the front dispenser frame assembly, then you can get to it easy.

There should be a screw at the bottom of the frame, if not then it just unsnaps.
