Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, check the door seal for gaps and make sure vents inside aren't blocked — the most common self-fixable cause. Also, check how often the door's been left open or ajar recently, since that's the single biggest cause of humid air getting in. Once you've ruled that out, a genuinely failed defrost heater or timer needs the interior panel off to test and replace, and misdiagnosing it means paying for parts that weren't the problem.
