Description
This mechanical defrost timer controls the refrigerator's automatic defrost cycle, clearing frost from the evaporator and helping maintain stable temperatures. Replacing a faulty timer restores regular defrost intervals to prevent frost buildup and inconsistent cooling.
- Cycles the system between cooling and defrost at set intervals to remove frost from the evaporator coils
- Heavy frost on the freezer back wall or evaporator cover may indicate a failed timer
- Fresh food section warming while the freezer seems cold, or unit stuck in defrost with no cooling
- Compressor runs continuously or never restarts; timer does not advance as expected
What's included: 1 defrost timer Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
- Access location varies by model; commonly in the control housing, behind the kick plate, or at the rear near the compressor
- Photograph or label wiring and transfer wires one at a time to the matching terminals
- Mount securely, restore power, and confirm normal cooling/defrost operation
