I have an everstar hdwc35, 28 bottle wine cellar. The display shows that the compressor and fan aren't running but the unit never shuts off. It is cold inside but when I change the temp setting to a higher number to get the unit to shut it just keeps running. Is this a thermostate problem? or does the digital circuit board need to be replaced?

It is a faulty thermostat not the control board An open thermostat defaults to a high value, so it does not shut off. If it was a bad compressor, or low in freon, it would not "get ice cold". If it is low on freon, the low pressure switch would not let it start up.
The defrost timer either runs normally (cycles on and off cold) or is in defrost mode (heater elements turn on to temporarily heat the freezer in order to remove frost). Anyway, It is not the defrost timer if it "gets icy cold".
