Kenmore Freezer 106.9203380 (1069203380, 106 9203380) Fridge runs too long

The Whirlpool Defrost Timer is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. The defrost timer regulates the automatic defrost cycle, which prevents ice buildup on the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment by sending a signal to the defrost heater to turn on and melt any ice buildup on the coils. 

Causes of a bad defrost timer can include mechanical wear over time, electrical failures, or internal component damage. Prolonged usage and voltage spikes can also affect the timer's functionality.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperatures
• Unusual noises coming from the appliance 
• The appliance running continuously without cycling off

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Door Closer Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This kit contains essential components for smooth refrigerator door closing: door cams and screws ensure gentle closure, proper seal, and prevent cool air leakage.

Parts in a door closer kit can wear out over time from frequent use, causing issues like improper closing, the need for extra force to shut, or failed sealing, affecting the refrigerator's cooling.

Symptoms of a bad Door Closer Kit include:

• The refrigerator door feels loose or wobbles when opened or closed
• The door does not close fully on its own or requires extra force to close
• You notice an increase in the refrigerator’s energy consumption due to cool air leaking
• Condensation or frost buildup near the door seal area due to improper sealing

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
