Hopefully this is of some help.

In defrost mode, is the heater actually getting warm?
Is the evaporator fan working in cooling mode?
In cooling mode check for voltage on timer terminal 2 (pink). If no good check on the defrost thermostat. If still no good check on the heater.
Here’s an image how I ''think'' that it works.
In cooling mode the red arrows show the path of the current to operate the timer. I think that the heater won’t get warm because there is not enough current for it but is enough for the timer.
When the timer operates after 8 hours to start the defrost, the heater is turned on because the timer contacts have operated bypassing the timer motor (green arrow through heater). However there is also still a voltage coming from the evap fan circuit (see green arrow through the evap fan which goes through the timer motor) which should keep the timer working but maybe not the evap fan.
After 21 minutes the timer contacts release and turn off the heater
