1 Answer Hello Lester. There is no set time for the defrost process. It can vary depending on the conditions and the timer. Usually in most cases, a refrigerator goes into defrost every 6 to 12 hours. Hope this helps. Read More...
Lester B. June 27, 2011 for Model Number TFX24FH The defrost alarm on door display is on, the refigerator is not getting cold and the freezer is still frozen. I adjusted the defrost control and the alarm went out, but came back on a few days later. Is there a wiring diagram available so I can see what the defrost timer controls ?
1 Answer Hi Lester. If the back wall of your freezer wall has frost build up on it, then it is safe to say you have a defrost failure. In your description above, then you will need defrost heaters part # WR49X392. Also the defrost thermostat that controls the heater power is part # WR50X55. Hope this helps. Thank you. Read More...
