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
