Jerry B for Model Number 106.8472481 As per previous answers, I connected the black wire to prong numbered "1" (which is in the center of the clump of three), and the refrigerator ran for about 20 hours and then started freezing up. It never went into a defrost cycle. Can you tell how you know it should be terminal #1? The original timer used terminal #2, which is making me wonder. Why wouldn't it go into a heat/defrost cycle?
Answer Hello Jerry. The instruction sheet and wiring diagram is how they determine terminal 1 or 2. However, the timer will work fine on either one. Once is cumulative, which means it runs when compressor runs. Other is continuous which runs all the time. Sounds like you have other issues and the timer is not it. May have bad thermostat or heater. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, May 1, 2017
