Top Freezer Refrigerator Defrost Timer

The Top Freezer Refrigerator Defrost Timer manages the automatic defrost cycle in your appliance’s freezer compartment. This timer is designed to cycle for 27 minutes after every 10 hours of run time; the part includes (2) screws and (2) nuts. If the existing timer isn’t advancing like it should or triggering your freezer to enter defrost mode, the part could be broken and need replacement. Installing this part will require basic hand tools and some disassembly of the refrigerator. Previous repair experience will be helpful but is not necessary. Remember to unplug the refrigerator or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part.
