Thanks ApplianceParts for such fast, efficient service; and for a part that was very reasonably price, not to mention the ease in finding it on your website by using the model number of my fridge.

Ge Defrost Timer (Mechanical)
Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WR9X482

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.

  • 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
