Manual Defrost Parts

This refrigerator defrost timer automatically starts and ends the defrost cycle to melt frost from the evaporator coils. Replacing a failed timer restores consistent cooling performance and helps prevent frost buildup that can restrict airflow.

• Controls the timed switch between cooling and defrost to keep evaporator coils clear of frost
• Common symptoms of failure: heavy frost on the evaporator or back panel, fresh food section too warm, unit runs constantly, or won't resume cooling after defrost
• Restores proper frost removal and airflow for stable temperatures
• Designed to match the original timer's function and wiring connections for applicable models

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access location varies by model—often in the fresh food control housing or rear machine compartment
• Photograph/label wire positions and transfer them to the matching terminals on the new timer
• Reuse original mounting hardware and install in the same orientation as the original

• Sends power to the defrost heater during defrost, then returns the unit to cooling
• A failed timer may cause heavy frost on the evaporator, poor cooling, or continuous running
• A timer that does not advance or is stuck can leave the refrigerator in defrost or prevent defrost entirely

• 1 defrost timer

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access location varies by model
• Photograph wire positions; move wires one at a time to the matching terminals on the new timer
• Transfer any mounting bracket, secure the timer, and restore power to verify operation
