Customer Questions and Answers for Defrost Timer by Ge

4.89 (64)
By: Ge
Part Number: OEM6185133
Manufacturer Part Number: WR9X502

The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part manages the defrost cycle of the fridge and freezer compartments, ensuring that the evaporator coils do not build up excessive frost. 

This cycling is crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures for food preservation and energy efficiency. Over time, the defrost timer can malfunction due to wear, electrical issues, or a buildup of dust and debris, leading to poor performance or failure.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

  • Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
  • The refrigerator or freezer is not maintaining the set temperature
  • The fridge or freezer sections are too warm
  • The defrost cycle does not activate, leading to reduced cooling efficiency

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

Jim for Model Number TBX 18ZG

I have a GE refrigerator Model TBX 18ZG that has start to collect water inside the fridge. It doesn't have an ice maker so there is no water line connect to it. The water appears to be coming from the freezer compartment and begins to run down run down the back of the fridge by the control panel at the top of the refrigerator compartment and collects at the bottom. I turned the unit off for 24 hours thinking there was an ice build up clogging the defrost tube. But the water continued to pool at the bottom of the fridge after that. Please advise Thank you Jim

Answer

Jim, Based on the information you have provided this sound as if you have a stopped-up defrost drain. You will need to clear the drain of all ice & debris.

Answer

Jim, You are correct. It will be a defrost drain tube problem. You will need to actually clear the tube. That ice build-up will not melt in 24 hours. A garden sprayer with hot water in it is a good choice. Remove the rear panel in the freezer section and clear all ice from under the evaporator. When you get to the drain hole force hot water through until it drains correctly.
