Kenmore Frdge not cooling

Hello,
I have a 10 year old Kenmore Fridge Mod#10662724110, SER# VS1 4594517.
Over a 24 hr period, I noticed both freezer and refrigerated items seemed to be warming so I removed the freezer back panel and found:

The compressor is running, I have a cold evaporator ( a small amount of frost across the top of the evaporator) and warm/hot condenser, the evaporator fan is not running and the defrost element is extremely hot.
I used a blow dryer on the defrost termination switch (bimeta)l for a solid 10 minutes but the system did not seem to come out of defrost mode.
Could this be a bad defrost termination switch?
Any support would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Steve
