I have to return the timer and start engine again after 45 min. what is problem for my refrigerator and defrost control is normal? by the way, it is hard to remove defrost control? Thanks for help
Answer Steve, Based on the information. If you have the unit in a forced defrost and after 45 minutes the unit has not come out of the defrost, then the defrost control is bad. To replace the defrost control you would unplug the power and remove the cover where you turned the defrost control and take out 2 screws that hold the timer in place. Once removed you will disconnect the wires and install a new timer. If when you put the unit into defrost and if the ice on the coils did not melt then you would need to check the defrost heater and thermostat for continuity and if no continuity then replace the part.
