I've got a GE PFSS6PKWBSS FDBM built by Samsung.  It's got the typical defrost issue up top which I don't understand cause I was already a kit put in it awhile back & the foam was completely dry.  Drains look good. The freezer evaporator is also frozen up.  The only code we're getting is an error for the defrost system in the freezer.  The defrost heater, bi metal, & Thermistor checks out ok.  The only problem is the duct heater, WR51X10106 it does get voltage & does heat a little but does not have the proper resistance.  Has anyone ever dealt with a duct heater before.   I can see if it doesn't have the proper resistance it will throw the code but I can't see this being the cause of the freezer evaporator freezing up.

Did you get an actual resistance reading from the defrost thermistor or did you use the diagnostic routine to get a pass/fail?
