Chuck April 19, 2026 for Model Number KSRV25FHWH01 Received my W10822278 defrost timer, the terminal clip on the black wire broke off. I know it goes to terminal 1 as my harness has a white wire. Can I just strip the wire and wrap around the pin???
1 Answer Chuck, While it is possible to do this, it would be best to get a replacement with the clip. Read More...
Brian November 26, 2025 for Model Number W4TXNWFWQ03 I see 2 different responses for wiring the black lead on the Whirlpool Defrost Timer, could someone please verify the correct terminal. I have black, pink, orange, and red wiring on the harness. Part numberAP5985208 (W10822278) Defrost Timer, Whirlpool W4TXNWFWQ03 Refrigerator
1 Answer Hello Brian, and thank you for your question. As the defrost timer W10822278 is used across many models and the terminal position changes from model to model, an easy way to identify the terminal is if there is a white wire or not. Since your defrost timer does not have a white wire going to it, the black wire would go to terminal 2. Read More...
1 Answer Gary, thanks for the question, If the timer harness has a white wire, use terminal #1 If the timer harness does not have a white wire, use terminal #2 Read More...
Jay October 19, 2025 for Model Number KTRS22MXAL20 If my diffuser won't open but the fridge is running, is that likely the defrost timer? I replaced the evaporator fan and motor which got the freezer blowing cold again but the diffuser down in the fridge doesn't open so it takes a long time for things to cool down there. I just don't want to spend a ton of money replacing parts that are fine with how old the fridge is.
1 Answer Hello Jay, and thank you for your question. The diffuser 1126124 is a mechanical part that does not utilize electricity. As this is the case, a broken connector on the diffuser, a broken connector rod, pivot arm, or other component could be the cause of failure. Inspecting from the control knob to the diffuser would be recommended. Read More...

Kari September 22, 2025 for Model Number ED22TQXFW00t I have an older (11/99) Whirlpool side by side refrigerator. It is working sporadically. Ice maker is not always freezing. Freezer is not as cold as it should be. I am not positive that the model number is correct. It is very faded and I can't see it well enough to be sure. We think the defrost timer may be working incorrectly. Is that a universal type part or is it model specific? Do you have any suggestions other then a new refrigerator?.
1 Answer Kari, thanks for the question. The manufacturer has discontinued the defrost timer for this model, and it is no longer available for purchase. Read More...
Donald August 16, 2025 for Model Number Et18nkxfw01 Hello, I purchased defrost timer W10822278 and I has an additional black wire that the original 2193084. Does this wire need to be connected somewhere foe the timer to work? When I installed the new timer I didn't connected and when I plugged the refrigerator in it would not start up. Is this the correct timer to replace the original 2193084?

Amish August 07, 2025 for Model Number 106.50594003 I do not have the wiring diagram for my Kenmore refrigerator. Can you tell me what terminal the black wire is supposed to go on for AP5985208 (W10822278)?
1 Answer Hello Amish, and thank you for your post. The black wire would be placed dependent on if there is a white wire that goes to the defrost timer W10822278 or not. If there is a white wire going to the defrost timer, place the black wire at terminal 1. If there is not a white wire, place the black wire at terminal 2. Read More...
