Theguvna for Model Number KitchendAid Superba 42 Refrigerator

My defrost switch "kinda" "knob/button" (hardly protruding without any #s, marks, etc...) that you can turn with your finger tip was accidentally turned about 1/4 of a turn when cleaning the dust off of my condenser coils. Now the fridge cool/defrost cycle time is way off and all food spoiled this weekend but there doesn't seem to be a way to reset it. No #s, no recommended settings, etc.... How can I reset it? I have a long history of buying parts from you guys. Thanks.

1 Answer

Theguvna, a defrost timer would cycle based off of compressor run time and would not be set to a specific time separately from what has already been set during manufacturing. If the model number of your appliance could be provided in a new question, this may allow for more accurate information to be presented.
