Parts for Kitchenaid KURS24RSSS00: 04 - Unit Parts

This Defrost Timer cycles the unit between cooling and automatic defrost. Replace it if your appliance won't defrost or stays stuck in defrost, causing frost buildup, warm temperatures, or intermittent/no cooling.

• Controls automatic defrost intervals by switching from cooling to defrost and back
• Supplies power to the defrost circuit/heater during the defrost portion of the cycle
• Common failure symptoms: heavy frost on the evaporator/back wall, warm fresh-food section, runs constantly with no defrost, or no cooling if stuck in defrost
• Stop advancing through cycles or advance intermittently

• Disconnect power before servicing; electrical components can hold live voltage
• Location varies by model: typically in the control housing inside the refrigerator or behind a rear/service panel
• Photograph/label wire positions and transfer connectors one at a time to the new timer
• Mount securely, restore power, and verify normal cooling/defrost operation

This condenser fan motor drives the fan that moves air across the condenser coils and around the compressor. Replacing a weak or seized motor restores airflow for efficient heat removal and more stable temperatures. What it does:

• Spins the condenser fan to exhaust heat from the coils and compressor
• Supports proper cooling performance and helps prevent compressor overheating
• Common failure signs: rear fan not running or intermittent, loud grinding/squealing, hot cabinet back, long run times, warmer-than-normal temperatures
• Often resolves buzzing or cycling from the compressor area due to inadequate airflow

• 1 condenser fan motor

• Disconnect power before servicing; remove the rear access panel to reach the condenser area
• Note wire positions; transfer the existing fan blade and mounting to the new motor
• Ensure the blade spins freely and wiring is routed clear of the fan
• Clean condenser coils while access is open to improve performance

This 6 MFD start/run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly, restoring proper motor performance and reliable operation. Use when the motor struggles to start or run consistently. What it does:

• Provides the brief voltage boost motors need to start and maintain run speed
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as motor hums, slow or no start, or intermittent running
• Replaces a failed or weak capacitor to improve motor reliability and reduce strain on components
• Matches the specified capacitance required for proper motor timing and operation

• Always disconnect power before inspecting or replacing electrical parts
• Discharge the capacitor before handling to avoid electric shock
• Replace with identical capacitance and mounting style; verify orientation and wire connections
