Carlos D. for Model Number 10650522100

Does this model uses a continuous run timer or a compressor run timer? I installed the timer with the loose lead on lead 2, but the timer seems to be stuck on the same place. But if I manually set it to defrost it runs the the defrost cycle for about 20 minutes and then goes into the cold cycle. I replaced the timer, and the bi-metal sensor, and I can see the defroster getting red-hot during the defrost cycle, when I set it manually. But if I let it run, after a couple of days the evaporator gets obstructed with frost.

Carlos you have a "Cumulative" compressor run application. The loose timer wire should be attached to terminal 1, The orange wire attached to terminal 1 on top of the black wire.The pink wire on terminal 2, the white wire attached to terminal 3 and the red wire attached to terminal 4.

Hello Darrin,
You will need to connect the black lead to the number "1" terminal. This will provide voltage to the timer motor for proper advancing/defrosting results.
