FAQs

If your refrigerator is failing to cool properly, you may notice excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils, or the unit may run constantly without cycling off. Conversely, if the refrigerator stops cooling entirely because it is stuck in the defrost cycle, the compressor will not turn on. A faulty timer is a frequent culprit when the appliance fails to initiate the automatic defrost cycle.
This timer is compatible with refrigerators from Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, and White Westinghouse. It replaces a wide range of part numbers, including 215846606, 240371001, 241621501, 215267800, 215846605, 08006992, 08016919, 08950148, 5304457327, 5300628518, AP2111929, and PS423801.
Replacing the defrost timer is a straightforward repair that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will generally need a screwdriver to access the control housing, which is often located inside the refrigerator compartment or near the compressor. Always ensure the refrigerator is unplugged before beginning any work.
Yes. If replacing the timer does not resolve the frost buildup, you should also test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat (bi-metal). If the heater is burnt out or the thermostat is not closing to complete the circuit, the defrost cycle will not function regardless of whether the timer is sending the signal.
You can manually advance the timer by turning the small dial on the face of the unit with a flat-head screwdriver. If you turn it until you hear a distinct 'click' and the compressor shuts off, the refrigerator has entered the defrost cycle. If the heater then warms up and melts the frost, the timer is likely the faulty component, as it was failing to advance on its own.
