  • Common symptoms of failure: heavy frost on the evaporator or back panel, fresh food section too warm, unit runs constantly, or won't resume cooling after defrost
  • Restores proper frost removal and airflow for stable temperatures
  • Designed to match the original timer's function and wiring connections for applicable models
What's included: Defrost timer Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
  • Access location varies by model—often in the fresh food control housing or rear machine compartment
  • Photograph/label wire positions and transfer them to the matching terminals on the new timer
