Theresa S. New defroster and defrost timer. It works initially, however when after it cools refrigerator and makes ice cubes it turns off and doesn't go on again. To operate, I put it on manually. When we installed the defrost timer we never set it by turning clockwise .Could that be the problem?
Answer Theresa, No advancing the defrost timer wouldn't make a difference in the timer operation. You do have to make sure the timer is wired correctly based on the wiring diagram of the refrigerator. The cold control could be the issue as well, but without a model number, we can't verify the proper wiring at the timer, or trace circuits to advise you properly. Read More...
