I replaced my defrost timer a few weeks ago, as the original timer was sticking in defrost mode. I confirmed that the timer was hooked up correctly as there is an extra black wire which I installed on terminal #1. The new timer worked great for 5 or 6 days, and then stuck again in defrost mode. When I advance the timer manually with a screwdriver, it works okay for a few days, then sticks again in defrost mode. Do you think I might have gotten a defective timer as a replacement , and buy another one? I'm thinking the defrost bi-metal (part# 4387503) might be causing the problem. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

push slotted loose timer
motor lead over & all the
way down terminal
number 2 with wire
toward timer motor.
