T Baker May 06, 2017 for Model Number GE Refrigerator TFX20JRBKWW After replacing WR9X489 GE Refrigerator Defrost Timer, it worked a week, then it starting to warm up at higher temps. I tapped on the timer and it started cooling again. Did i get a bad timer?
1 Answer T. Baker, Based on the symptoms, this sounds like a faulty timer that was received. Read More...
Jerry April 25, 2017 for Model Number tfx25 jr two weeks ago I installed a new defrost element that I bought from your company. element is working but lower coil is still freezing up. what can be causing this.
1 Answer Hello Jerry. If only a section of the evaporator is freezing up, you have a sealed system issue and will need an HVAC tech to repair the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello James, You only turn the large screw until you hear a louder click. This signifies the timer has gone into or back out of defrost. Read More...
Dave September 04, 2016 for Model Number 3639520880 can you tell me how long timer # wr9x483 runs between defrost and how long it stays in defrost-- also at what temp the defrost thermostat should openit is part # wr50x55-- thanks
1 Answer Dave, This timer would most likely be either a 8 hour or 10 hour run time with a 30 minute defrost cycle. So it will go into the defrost every 8 to 10 hours and will only stay in defrost for up to 30 minutes. Read More...
Duane August 23, 2016 I have a GE side by side and just replaced the WR51x442 dual heating unit and the WR9X489 defrost timer. The unit went thru a cycle but heat element did not come on. Have manually put timer in defrost mode and don't see element heating up. These are brand new parts. Any idea?
1 Answer Hello Duane. The thermostat has to be frozen to allow the heater to come on. Try to cycle it tonight after about 8 hours of run time. It should come then. Read More...
Mike February 27, 2016 Could you tell me how often this defrost timer goes into defrost mode...perhaps, 6, 8, or 12 hours? Thanks for any assistance.
1 Answer Mike, The defrost timer WR9X489 is a 8 hour timer. It goes through defrost 7.2 hours after coming out of defrost and stays in defrost for 30 minutes. Read More...
Ray January 22, 2016 for Model Number GE TFG22JRXD I have a 240 volt refrigerator. Do you have a defrost timer to suit. Cheers from the Land Down Under.
1 Answer Ray, It appears that the part number for the defrost timer on your unit would be WR9X541. Unfortunately we do not do international shipping at this time and the only way to get this part through us would be if you have someone within the United States that you could ship it to and then have them ship it to you.

Mike October 05, 2015 Hi, I have an old GE Profile side-by-side that was showing the classic symptoms of defrost heater/timer failure. I turned it off and left it off while waiting for the WR9X489 timer and the associated dual-heater unit. I then left the fridge off for several months. Yesterday I finally got around to installing the new heaters and timer. Clicked the timer around and the fridge began running. However, after many hours, there is still no sign of any cooling whatsoever. Both the freezer and the refrigerator sides are room temp; fan in freezer blows room temp air. The compressor was working during the frost-buildup phase, worked during one thaw and restart (before I ordered the parts) and was working the last time I turned it off and let it thaw. Could the compressor fail from not being run for several months? Is there some sort of reset switch on it? Have I missed a step in the defrost repair? Thanks for any help.
1 Answer Mike, It is possible for the oil in the compressor to thicken up from no use and cause the compressor to not run. You will want to check the overload relay to see if it is clicking. If it is then you could try to replace it and see if the compressor will run otherwise could be a bad compressor. Read More...
Jj August 31, 2015 for Model Number GE Profile Performance Does the Defrost timer WR09X0489 come with an adjusting knob? If not where can I purchase one? (Still need the timer)
1 Answer JJ, There is a dial on one side of the timer that allows you to turn it in order to put the unit into the defrost cycle. As for an adjustment for time, there is no type of time adjustment for defrost timers. Read More...
Kip June 12, 2015 for Model Number TFX26PPDAAA Just got a defrost timer from you (along with heater assembly). When I plug it in and power up the fan and compressor does not run. Is it in defrost cycle? Should I rotate adjuster knob on timer clockwise to see if fan/compressor come on or should i just wait for 45 minutes to see if all comes on?? When I attach my old timer, the fan and compressor runs so I turned the adjuster knob clockwise until the fan and compressor turned off, looked in fridge and heater assembly then came on.any suggestions on proper install and process? Many thanks
1 Answer Kip, If when you put the new timer in the compressor and fans do not turn on then you would just need to turn the dial until it clicks and it should turn the unit on. Sometimes these defrost timers come in preset on defrost due to testing. Read More...
