If you had ice on the coils you will need to replace the defrost thermostat. Here is the part to order.

5E Means Fridge Defrost Sensor Error. You will probably have to call an Engineer because this does not necessarily mean the defrost sensor is faulty and you would need to check that the evaporator and drain heaters are working, the thermal fuse for the heaters is ok and if they are fine, the sensor resistance should be checked.

You have probably dumped the unit now but here are the most likely faults: 1. Defrost Heater (there are probably two in series, one on evaporator and one in drain hole so if one fails, neither work). You remove power, use an Ohmmeter and measure the resistance of the heaters which should be really low <20 ohms. 2. Thermal fuse (if this blows, it must be replaced properly and insulated from the heater). Again, a low Ohm reading would be required. 3. Ice blockage in drain hole (pour a small amount of warm water and ensure it goes down into the tray below compressor where it evaporates away). 4. An error is detected due to a faulty sensor or fan (if it has a display, it may have a diagnostic mode and instructions on back of unit). There could be two sensors and they are usually the same type. One would be for fridge temperature and one for the defrost temperature. You can again use an ohmmeter and check that you are getting similar readings from each (they will be a little different due to being different temperatures and you can warm them with your hands and see the resistance alter a bit). Lastly the main board which are generally pretty robust and you have already changed.
