The 120V heater is original to the refrigerator. When tested independent of the control board, the refer works just fine at ~114 volts. So I am fairly certain that the problem is not (primarily) the heater, and that's why I think it IS the control board.
Just to satisfy those who say 'replace the thermistor', I have one on order and will test again with a new thermistor. As pointed out, it's only $15 (and less work than replacing the board) and a board is $100. I'll wait to buy the control board until I've tested with the new thermistor, just to be sure.
