1 Answer Hello Mike. You replace the defrost timer when there is power tot he timer and the timer does not work. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Jim March 07, 2014 for Model Number ET1MTKXKT02 I have installed the defrost timer with the black wire on number 2 terminal. Didn't seem to be working so I changed it to number 1. still seems the same. To long of a defrost time and runs most of the time. Please advise.
1 Answer Hello Jim. This timer should only defrost around every 8 hours. If there is power to the timer, and the black wire is correct, it should advance. Read More...

Alan February 10, 2014 for Model Number 106.57075791 Kenmore 106.57075791 How do I know if its continuous run or not? Pin 1 or 2 for the attached black wire?
Robert January 22, 2014 for Model Number ed20pkxsnoo I installed a new defrost timer and put the black wire lead on terminal 2 but the connector fit very loosely on the terminal and it may have shorted out because the timer does not advance and when I force a defrost the timer ticks for 25 minutes but the heater does not come on. I pinched the wire lead with a pliers after removing the timer and reinstalling it again so it is tight on the terminal now but it did not solve the problem. The heater and defrost thermostat both work as it did defrost one time two days after it was installed. I think the poor connection of the black wire lead may have destroyed the timer.
1 Answer Hello Robert. If the timer is not sending voltage to the heater, you will need to replace the timer on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
