yea yea!! Keep staring at that Schematic, it will start to make sense to you.. the thing I had the hardest time understanding is actually the key to the whole circuit and thats the Defrost timer.. plug it back in.. It gets power all the time (Black wire) and every 8 hrs it will switch the power over from the thermostat to the defroster. During the defrost the Compressor (red wires) will not get power.. The Defroster (pink wire) will get all the power.. When the coils in the freezer reach 54f? (I think) then the Bi-metal will open and cut the power to the Defroster because of heat.. When the defrost time cycle is over the switch will go back to sending power to the thermo and the compressor will come on if the thermo calls for cooling.. You'll Still have a light if you just tap into a white wire.. just dont cut the yellow it runs to the switch and is hot when the door is open only.
