Marcel August 16, 2013 for Model Number 106 55244400 Kenmore I have a new timer. Where can I get the diagram for this refrigerator? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Marcel, If you remove the kick panel the wiring diagram should be on the right side under the unit. This is the most common place for the tech sheet to be on the unit. Some models will actually have the tech sheet on the kick panel, (on the back side of it). Read More...

Dave July 31, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool ED5RHAXNQ The refrigerator and freezer do not stay cold enough. The coldest the freezer gets is to about where the refrigerator should be. Do you think it is the defrost timer or something else?
1 Answer Dave, It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Magoo July 26, 2013 for Model Number 10659542998 Thank you for the rapid response to my question, but I think you might have misunderstood my problem. The ice and frost is building up under the front part of the ice bucket and down around the top part of the ice slide. It sticks to the left side of the fridge and falls down on the frozen foods in my freezer. It builds up under the ice bucket and makes it hard to open the door. This is why I believe it is the defrost timer, but I am not a technician. OK Thanks
1 Answer Magoo, It is possible that your icemaker may be leaking which would cause the issue of water leaking from the bin into the ice chute and down the side wall. It is also possible that the issue could be that the water valve is not fully closing and causing the icemaker to overfill and run out. You can test this by taking the cover off the icemaker and allowing it to cycle by putting a jumper wire between T & H on the motor module. This will allow the unit to run through a cycle. Pull the ice bin out and check to see when the icemaker fills with water whether there is water dripping from the bottom of the icemaker and make sure that the water valve is shutting off.

Khanh July 25, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool model # GR9SHMXKQ01 I am replacing defrost timer with 482493 defrost timer kit but I do not know where the black wire should be connected to. Thanks,
Magoo July 24, 2013 for Model Number SJ8734714 My ice maker is frosting over underneath the bucket that catches the ice and in the open slide that puts out the ice. I am having a hard time opening the freezer door as the frost is built up under the ice tray. Could this be the defrost timer? If so , what is the parts number to order it? thank you-- mb
1 Answer Hello Magoo. No, it sounds like the flapper inside the freezer door is not closing properly and will need to be repaired on the unit. Read More...
Jerry F July 11, 2013 for Model Number Magic Chef RB19K-4A Which terminal does the black jump wire go to on the defrost timer for a Magic Chef refrigerator model number RB19K-4A? I purchased part number 4391974, which is significantly different than the original defrost timer.
Cristy July 11, 2013 for Model Number Et21nkxgw00 I replaced the timer defrost kit the lights turned on but the refrigerator doesn't seem to be on. Why?
1 Answer Cristy, You may have to advance the timer to the on position which would be to turn until it clicks. Also make sure that you put the black lead on the correct terminal. Read More...
