Maksy for Model Number 106.55639500

I bought the defrost timer part # W10822278 from you. My order # 11370779. My fridge is Kenmore 106.55639500 side by side. The defrost timer has one black wire to be connected to pin # 1 or 2. To determine which pin, i need to see wiring diagram as per instructions with part. I cannot find wiring diagram anywhere. Can you tell me whether the black wire goes to pin 1 or 2? Or provide me with the wiring diagram for this model of refrigerator? I have seen the installation video multiple times. So please don't point me to same video for answer. Many thanks in advance.

Frank, The black timer motor wire will attach to the number 1 terminal on the replacement timer. " For continuous run timer push slotted loose timer motor lead over & all the
way down terminal number 1 with the wire towards the timer motor. When wired correctly to a refrigerator’s accumulated run clock, replacement timer will provide defrost every 8 hours of compressor run time after the bimetal closes."
