1 Answer Hello Lorenzo. Turn the defrost timer and see if the unit starts to run. If so, the timer 4388932 is bad and will need to be replaced. If not, you need to check and see if the temperature control is bad on the unit and needs to be replaced. Read More...
Dean July 09, 2012 for Model Number 2188159 The model number is for a defrost timer for my whirlpool refrigerator. It appears to be more than just a defrost timer as it has more than 4 prongs - is there a way to test this part to see if it has gone bad?
1 Answer Hello Dean. The best way to test if you are having a defrost issue is to test the heater and the defrost thermostat and see if they are good. If so, replace the timer 4388932. You can test for power coming to the timer, but without a model number we cant check the wiring diagram for this. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Don June 17, 2012 for Model Number 10653582300 My freezer is not working and the fridge is not warm but not cold as it should be. I was thinking it may be this part and wanted to know if there is a way to test this part. Or if you think there may be another part which would be the problem. The compressor is a normal warm temp to touch.
1 Answer Don, The easiest way to diagnose a defrost issue, is to check the back wall of the freezer. If there is a heavy build up of frost or ice on the wall, you"ll need to circuit check the heater, thermosta and the defrost timer. Also check both the doors for a good and proper seal all the way around. If all's OK, check the evaporator fan , it may be stuck or running slow and not circulating the air properly. Good Luck Read More...

Gary October 23, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore 10656879600 How do I remove the control panel section inside the refrigerator so I can replace the defrost timer? I removed the two screws in the back but something is holding it in the front and I can not see any more screws.
1 Answer Hi Gary. The defrost control board is part # 4388932, located on the rt. side in the control area. There are 4- screws holding the control compartment to the upper cabinet. There are 2 rear 1/4" screws in the back outer rim. There are 2- more in the front half. You may need to use a plastic putty knife to gently remove the front label /cover part # W10124121. The control box assy. is part # 2181737. This will access the screws. Read More...
