Maryanne for Model Number 25322042410 Kenmore Upright freezer model# 25322042410 defrost too often. I already replaced the defrost timer (Part# AP69799886) but I still get the same behavior. I did check the control-temperature and it was loose so I made sure that it is actually inserted completely then put it back together and the freezer is running again for a few hours (i.e. ~ 8PM-~6AM) and then its stopped running and it is defrosting. Am I missing something? What is the defrost timer supposed to be set to? Thank you for your help.
Answer Hello Maryanne, your freezer uses a 12 hour defrost timer, meaning every 12 hours of "accumulated" compressor run time it goes into a 20-30 minute defrost cycle. This is considered normal operation. The compressor should cycle off (and the defrost timer stops also) once the correct internal temperature is reached. If the compressor runs non stop except for defrost cycles there is a cooling problem. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, December 17, 2020
