Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, check how often the door's been left open or ajar recently, since that's the single biggest cause of humid air getting in. If that doesn't fix it, 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.
