Carlos D. for Model Number 10650522100

Does this model uses a continuous run timer or a compressor run timer? I installed the timer with the loose lead on lead 2, but the timer seems to be stuck on the same place. But if I manually set it to defrost it runs the the defrost cycle for about 20 minutes and then goes into the cold cycle. I replaced the timer, and the bi-metal sensor, and I can see the defroster getting red-hot during the defrost cycle, when I set it manually. But if I let it run, after a couple of days the evaporator gets obstructed with frost.

Answer

Carlos you have a "Cumulative" compressor run application. The loose timer wire should be attached to terminal 1, The orange wire attached to terminal 1 on top of the black wire.The pink wire on terminal 2, the white wire attached to terminal 3 and the red wire attached to terminal 4.
