FAQs

This defrost timer is commonly used on refrigerators and freezers from Frigidaire, Kenmore, Whirlpool, and Crosley. Compatibility depends on the exact model and original part number, so the safest match is to verify that your unit uses 5304518034 or one of the replacement numbers listed for this timer.
Known replacement and cross-reference numbers for this defrost timer include 5304518034, 297318010, 216744500, 216744400, 216517400, AP6799886, 00624727, 00624729, 00626218, 00627159, 00628515, 00628516, 00628517, 08037960, 08037967, 216563000, 4815991, 5304516309, 5308037967, 624727, 624729, 626218, 627159, 628515, 628516, 628517, 8037960, 8037967, A1341, CC301, F127233, F129880, F000127233, and F000129880.
A failed defrost timer can cause heavy frost buildup on the evaporator, reduced cooling, a freezer that stays cold while the refrigerator section gets warm, or a unit that seems stuck in either cooling or defrost mode. In some cases, the compressor may not restart normally after a defrost cycle, or the defrost heater may never come on.
On many refrigerators, this is a moderate repair that takes about 15 to 45 minutes. You typically need a screwdriver, and possibly a nut driver, to access the timer housing. Always unplug the refrigerator before servicing. The timer is usually mounted behind a control panel, kick plate, or rear access area depending on the model. Transfer the wire harness one connector at a time if the plug style allows.
Before replacing the timer, confirm the problem is not being caused by another part in the defrost system. Check for a failed defrost heater, a bad defrost thermostat or sensor, damaged wiring, or a sealed evaporator packed in ice from poor airflow. Also verify the refrigerator is actually using a mechanical defrost timer, since some models use an electronic control board instead.
Mechanical defrost timers usually fail from normal wear of the internal motor and switching contacts over time. Power surges, moisture exposure, and long-term compressor cycling can also contribute. If the timer stalls, the refrigerator may stop advancing into defrost or fail to return to cooling after defrost.
Yes. Match the replacement by part number and terminal layout rather than appearance alone. Some versions in this timer family use a 4-terminal configuration, and the terminal markings must align with your original part. If your old timer has a manual advance slot, you can compare its operation before removal, but disconnect power before installing the new one.
