Try going further than defrost and draining the hose. There is gunk that builds up and you need to clean that out. Use a pipe cleaner(the fuzzy wires used mostly for art projects. They actually can clean pipes and water lines!!) Also, you can pick up a pack of pellets used for breaking down the "gunk" build up.

Is the motor running. Check if it has enough refrigerant gas. If the freezer runs normally for a long time and switches off, then replace the thermostat.

Check lights connection with thermostat for correct connection. if there is a short or arching then you will keep replacing these bulbs.

The fuse is usually found on the power circuit board.

Check the fuse and connections.
