David for Model Number ED22PEXHB02

I recently installed the W10822278 Defrost Timer for my Whirlpool (Model ED22PEXHB02). The new defrost timer only works part of the time, meaning some of the time the refrigerator will enter defrost mode and exit the mode normally. Other times it enters defrost mode and never exits. When this happens I don't hear the 'ticking' from the defrost timer module. If I give the panel underneath the defrost timer a firm knock with my knuckles the refrigerators starts right up. Any suggestions?

Answer

David, if the timer W10822278 is receiving voltage from the thermostat WP2198202 at the time of failure and the timer does not continue to cycle, it would need to be replaced. However, if the defrost timer does not receive voltage from the thermostat, the thermostat would be the cause of failure.
