Admin May 09, 2015 for Model Number ET1CHKXKQ03 I ordered this part and replaced it also replaced the thermostat, while before the fridge was stuck in defrost, now it seems like it doesn't go into defrost or at least not nearly enough. Fan works, everything else seems to be working fine. I keep getting a frost build up in the freezer now, and in the vent which obviously restricts airflow. Is it possible that connected it wrong? I have the black wire on terminal 2 - thanks.
1 Answer You were pretty close to the correct wiring of the new timer. Based on the wiring diagram for the model number you supplied, the black timer motor wire should have been placed on terminal 1, the orange wire should have been attached to the no.1 terminal as well. The pink wire attached to the no.2 terminal. The white wire attaches to terminal no.3, and the red wire to terminal no.4. This will provide a defrost cycle every 8 hours of compressor run time, after the defrost bimetal(thermostat) closes. It may seem like it's a long period of time between defrost cycles, but that is determined by door openings and usage and loading of the compartments. Once you have it wired correctly and have double checked and made sure the evaporator coils are all clear of any ice or frost, allow the refrigerator to run and cycle a few days before yopu recheck for ice on the back wall or vents.

Jay March 26, 2015 for Model Number w4txnwfwq03 Is this a continus or accumilitive run for defrost timer and what terminal to connect black wire?
Gary March 23, 2015 for Model Number ED22GWXFW01 When frost builds in the freezer the evaporator fan hums but the fan will not spin. If I flick the blade it will start turning sometimes it takes a couple of flicks to get it going. Any advise on what may cause it?
1 Answer Hello Gary. The evaporator fan motor 4389144 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Emery S. February 15, 2015 for Model Number EET201MMNR2 This Refrigerator is 37 years old, First break down. Unit frosted up in freezer. I had the Timer replaced but that didn't help. The heat strip has 120 volts on both sides. It does not get hot with the 120 volts getting to it. I checked the Defrost and there is no continuity between the two wires coming out. I think this is a bad one. Since I can't find my model number because of it's 37 years old, what can I replace it with? Will the p/n-2321799 work? Can you help me? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Emery, WR50X60 is a 60/40 configuration so it should work. If the unit runs a bit cold, you may need to go to a colder one like the 58/30 WR50X10025. The numbers I am listing is the high temperature where the thermostat will open and the low temperature where the thermostat closes. (i.e. opens at 60°F and closes at 40°F). Read More...

Bill February 13, 2015 for Model Number 106.76939400 Hi I am replacing a defrost timer. Does the black wire go on number one or two terminal? It seemed to work better on number one, I switched it to number 2 today to see how it would behave and it seems warmer. Thank you.
Fuzzyragdoll January 29, 2015 for Model Number ktrs22mjbt00 My defrost timer is attached with metal clips over plastic posts that seem to be attached to the housing for all the electrical in the fridge going up to the freezer. How do I remove the metal clips to get the timer out? Directions are typically for screws holding the timer in. I am afraid of breaking the plastic posts.
1 Answer Fuzzyragdoll, To remove the clips on the post you will just need to slowly work the metal clip up. There is really no easy way to do this. Read More...
