Edward F August 16, 2023 for Model Number LRSC20A/9M01A Hello, I have a older Maytag refrigerator that we use in the garage. The freezer side gets somewhat cold and the fridge side is warm. The coils inside the freezer side were completely covered with ice. The Defrost Thermostat (WP52085-29) was replaced and I have checked the Defrost Heater Assembly (WP61001846) for conductivity. No break in the Heater Assembly. So I may have to replace the Defrost Timer (WP68233-2). But my problem is trying to locate the Defrost Timer in this Maytag model (LRSC20A/9M01A). I have seen the online diagram of the Timer, but it does not really tell or show me where it is located. Can you please help me with this? Is it on the freezer or fridge side? A better diagram would help. I attempted to search for a service manual, but all sites indicate not available. Thank you in advance.
1 Answer Edward F,The defrost timer should be found in the controls area in the refrigerator close to the thermostat. Read More...
John June 25, 2023 for Model Number AT19M9A My Admiral refrigerator ices up. I suspect 1 or more of defrost heater, thermostat, timer. They are under the freezer floor, from diagrams. I think I need to remove doors and the mullion divider, I see no other way, but I am not certain. Is this correct ? The unit also has this identifier "B/M DE54A"
1 Answer John,Yes, that is correct for the defrost heater and defrost thermostat. The defrost timer however is in the machine compartment at the lower back of the refrigerator. Read More...

John August 05, 2019 after looking at your website, I think I need to replace the defroster timer but I cannot figure out how to find the old defroster timer on/in my refrigerator. Magic Chef model RB191TV. I have watched multiple you tube videos from appliancepartspros.com but it's not accessible in my refrigerator like those videos. Please tell me how to access the defroster timer, thanks
1 Answer Hello John,this is an old model design, according to the parts index it is located on the inside of the rear refrigerator cabinet just to the side of the compressor area, usually the left side. Remove the rear compressor cover and look on the inside of the cabinet, it will have two mounting screws holding it in place. Read More...
Dennis August 14, 2018 for Model Number MSD2732GRW Refrigerator has been working flawlessly. We left on 3 month trip to find freezer and fresh food sections to be 49 degrees. Unplugged waited 30 minutes plugged back in fan and compressor came on and run, temperature inside dropped down to 50 degrees air blowing is 50 degrees on coldest setting. Everything sound normal compressor is running, condenser fan is blowing interior fan is blowing. What can I do to trouble shoot or what is most likely part failure?
1 Answer Dennis, You would want to check the evaporator coils and make sure that there is a good even frost pattern. If there is very little frost on the coils then service would be required to repair this issue. Read More...
James February 26, 2018 for Model Number rtw2200aaw My defrost timer is not moving but when i turn it manually the defrost works it heats up and then cuts off but don't come out of defrost. How do I know its the timer and not the control board.
1 Answer James, The unit does not have a control board and will need to have the defrost timer WP68233-2. Read More...
Rick G September 08, 2017 for Model Number msd2554arw Freezer side is at 0 degrees, fresh food side is 50 -- coils are clear in the freezer. I cannot get the fridge side to come down. First thing in the morning it is at 35 but as soon as the door gets opened is starts going up. what operate the little door between the 2 sections? Is there a test procedure for the thermostat? Or the damper door? Where is the time on this unit, is it inside above the lights?
1 Answer Rick, This issue would most likely be caused by the damper assembly which is part number WP61005993. Read More...
Tom December 18, 2016 for Model Number MSD2454FRW Can you please tell me the steps required to replace the defrost timer for this unit? I know it's under the controls in the top of the refrigerator side but am unsure how to disassemble the controls to gain access. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Tom. First disconnect power. Then you will reach to the back of the cover in the top and there will be 2 slots to put your finger. Pull down and forward in those spots and it should allow you to remove the panel. Next remove the screws from the upper housing and drop it down to access and replace the timer on the unit.

Ed E August 06, 2016 for Model Number JRSD246 Where is the defrost timer in the refrigerator diagram on the back shows it at the bottom of the refrigerator but its not there. Thanks
1 Answer Ed, The defrost timer would be located either in the back of the unit on the side of the frame or on the front of the unit under the kickplate on the frame. You may have to look for a hole that has a dial in it. Read More...
