I check everything out on refrigerator.The condenser fan wasn't running .I checked for power and it had 110 volts fan would not run and was wobbly at the shaft a lot of play in it.I check out timer it had continuity on a pair of contacts and infinity on opposite contacts so timer motor was working .what was wrong with timer was it was getting stuck in defrost mode probably plastic gear worn out. I ordered parts and put in .The timer motor was universal so was my Kenmore diagram, said power is on 1 on the terminal plug so I slid slotted wire on that terminal, well refrigerator would not run so I took a screwdriver, advanced timer til I heard a click compressor started and refrigerator runs like new again.
Timer is hidden, when you pull the knobs off the control panel where you adjust temp control, you will slide your pocket knife behind that metal plate that has numbers on it telling you your setting once plate just pops in groove behind plate is two screws you have to remove to get to timer motor
