Paul Lee October 16, 2019 for Model Number JRSD224 Which terminal should the black wire be connected to for a Jenn Air JRSD224.
D Curtis October 16, 2019 for Model Number JRSD224 Replaced defrost timer for Jenn Air JRSD224. Cannot get compressor to start with new timer. I have tried both pin 1 and pin 2. with the wire connector.
1 Answer D Curtis, the timer would be wired with the black wire jumper going to terminal 1 along with the white wire. The blue wire should go to terminal 3, yellow wire to terminal 2, and the orange wire to terminal 4. It is possible that a wire has come loose as the compressor receives voltage directly from the temperature control rather than the defrost timer. Read More...
Elmer K. December 11, 2018 for Model Number BNT1494 Old Admiral refrigerator The Admiral model number is not recognized by any supplier that I tried. The defrost timer will run intermittently and does not defrost the unit regularly. The old defrost timer is similar to model WP4391974. It has 4 connector prongs, prongs 1 and 3 are for the coil, 2 and 4 to the contacts. 2, 1 and 4 have equal spacing between them. A wider spacing for 3 and 4. I can adapt the mounting of the timer if the electrical connections are the same as the old timer. Please confirm the connections on WP4391974. Thanks Elmer
1 Answer Hello Elmer, I'm sorry but this model number is not coming up for us as valid. This could be because it is simply too old to come up. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Bill September 06, 2018 for Model Number Admiral NT23B8SV A refrigerator repairman has replaced the defrost timer in our Admiral NT23B8SV with Whirlpool WP4391974. But it is not defrosting--the freezer is at zero degrees F while the fridge is at 65 degrees. He did *not* use the extra black wire, since all 4 terminals match the 4 correct wire colors in the plug. Directions say "For 6 hour continuous defrost cycle, attach loose lead to terminal 1." Does he need to do this to make the defrost timer work properly? How can the loose lead be attached when all 4 terminals are already taken?
1 Answer Bill If your referring to the jumper wire, it is used when there is a three wire hookup. The black lead attached to the timer will depend on your model and wiring diagram as to where it goes. The loose lead slides over a terminal and a wire is still able to be connected, and yes it has to be connected. Read More...

Tom June 06, 2018 for Model Number NNS248J Replacement Defrost timer, part no.4391974, where should the loose wire be connected?
1 Answer Tom, This will be determined by whether you have a 3 or 4 wire hook up. If it is a 3 wire then place the loose lead to terminal number 2, if it is a 4 wire hookup then place it on terminal number 1. Read More...

Jerry March 23, 2018 for Model Number 106.72206201 I'm told that a mechanical defrost timer (482493 or similar) can be substituted for the original adaptive defrost control board in my Kenmore refrigerator. Is that correct?
