Customer Questions and Answers for Timer, Defrost (6 Hr.) by Whirlpool

Hello Don. You will place the black wire onto number 2 of the timer. If your unit is a 3 wire, you will use the jumper across 3 and 4 of the timer as well.

DG, If you have only 3 wires to connect to your timer then you would need to use the jumper between pins 3 and 4 and the loose terminal would go to terminal number 2. If it is a 4 wire connection then you will need to determine if the unit is a continuous run or a cumulative. If it is a continuous run then you would need to install the jumper wire on terminal 1 and if cumulative will be on terminal number 2.

Hello Fuller. You will attach the wire to number 2 on the timer. The only way you will use the jumper is if your harness only has 3 wires. Then the jumper will got across terminals 3 and 4 of the timer.

Hello Kim. The time varies. This is a 6 hour timer, but most are run by the run time of the compressor.

Hello Chuck, This unit should have the lead connected to terminal 1. This allows the defrost timer motor to run continuously and defrost on a regular time schedule.

Jeff, The black lead on the timer will go to either terminal 1 or 2 on the new timer. If you fail to put this lead on the correct terminal per the instructions then the unit will never go into the defrost. The timer is mechanical and the black lead is the other side of the timer motor which will not turn if the wire is not connected.

Hello Mark, You will put the black wire on terminal number 1. This is a continuious configuration as the unit calls for a defrost cycle every 6 hours.

Hello Chuck. It looks like the wire goes to number 2 on the timer.

Fj40, The black lead wire should be on the number 2 terminal.

Hello Robert. Based on the information you provided, you will want the unit to be set on continuous.
