Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Defrost Timer (Part Number: OEM17955633)

Giwatcher for Model Number 1067625463

I am so sorry for my confusion. This is a 40+ yo coldspot/kenmore 1067625463, replacing the defrost timer. My wiring harness, from top to bottom with the timer mounted on the back wall, is piggyback white at the top,next is orange, next is black, and at the bottom is pink. I do not think the pink is red, but since there is a white and a black wire, I am not clear where to place the loose black wire. The internet is filled with this question and answers, but I'm not sure it matches my wiring situation. Can you help with this? Also, if placed on the wrong terminal, 1 vs 2, what happens?

1 Answer

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.

Randall, If you have a black wire on the refrigerator harness then the black wire will go to terminal 2 and if not then it would go to terminal 1.

Dean, the black wire would go onto terminal 1 as there is a white wire going to the defrost timer.

John, if the defrost timer has a white wire going to it, the black wire would go to terminal 1. If there is not a white wire, the black wire would go to terminal 2.
