Customer Questions and Answers for Defrost Timer by Whirlpool

Hello Daniel, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros. For your model's wiring, the black lead wire on the timer will go to the #2 terminal.

Cane, the black wire would connect to terminal 2 for the model number provided.

Hello Dave, thank you for contacting APP, The Black timer motor lead would go over the # 1 terminal, the rest of the wiring is as follows: 1 = Orange (with black motor lead) 2 = Pink 3 = White 4 = Red

Hello Ray, thank you for contacting APP, There are 2 different setups for this timer. If your unit has Black, Pink, Red, and Orange wires to it then the timer motor lead(black wire) on the timer goes over the #2 terminal. If your unit has Orange, Pink, Red, and White wires to it then the motor lead goes over the #1 terminal.

Todd, unfortunately, the model number provided would utilize a main control W10890094 for the defrost function. As this is the case, a defrost timer would not be compatible with your appliance.

Daryl, the black wire of the defrost timer W10822278 would need to be connected to terminal 1 for the model provided. The wire being placed as a ground wire can potentially cause operational error.

Lou, the black wire would go to terminal 1 for the model number provided.

Neil, If the timer wiring harness Has a white wire place the loose black wire on terminal #1 If the timer wiring harness does not have a white wire place the loose black wire on terminal #2

Alvin, If the timer harness Has a white wire use terminal #1 If the timer harness does not have a white wire use terminal #2

Hello Giwatcher, thank you for contacting APP, From the information I have the loose Black motor terminal lead wire should be on terminal 2, the only real difference should be Cumulative vs Continuous Defrost Timer.
