Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Defrost Timer by Ge

Chris, This should be an 8 hour timer and should fully rotate in 8 hours. It could be a 10 hour but most are 8.

Hello Chris, defrost timers only run when the compressor is running or when in a defrost cycle, your model's defrost timer has a run time of 16 hours and a defrost cycle time of 35 min, so about one revolution about every 16.5 hours of total run time. On average a ref runs about 50% of the time so it may take 1.5 - 2 days for one revolution.
