Brian Y. for Model Number Inglis JT74191

Defrost timer starting to make a noise during defrost cycle. Current part# 20143568 I find can be replaced by your 482493. Current connection is plug 3(R), 4(OR), 1 (BK) and 2(PK). Current timer also has separate black lead that runs into box beside timer. Is it as simple as plugging plug in as is and running black lead on 482493 to same location as current black lead? I ask because instructions talking about hooking black lead to either plug pin 1 or 2.

Hello Brian,
You should connect the black lead to the terminal labeled on the defrost timer as terminal number One, (1).
