Defrost Timer - 60Hz 120V – Part Number: 215846602

Defrost Timer - 60Hz 120V
★★★★★
★★★★★
(44)
Part #215846602
This 120 volt, 60 hertz defrost timer switches the refrigerator into a 30 minute defrost cycle after eight hours of compressor run time. The cycle allows the heater to clear frost from the evaporator so air can circulate. A faulty timer may allow frost buildup that restricts airflow and leaves the refrigerator or freezer too warm. It may also fail to return the appliance to cooling. Confirm the timer fault before replacement, since other defrost components can cause similar symptoms. Disconnect power before accessing the control. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

If your ice maker is not making ice you may need to replace this part. Please remember to disconnect the power and water supply before starting your repair. This ice maker is a genuine OEM part.

Part #5303918277
Fresh ice is produced automatically by this refrigerator ice maker assembly, which fills its mold, freezes water, and releases cubes into the storage bin. Its heat release mechanism briefly warms the mold to loosen the ice during harvesting. A damaged or failed assembly may stop cycling, leave cubes stuck in the mold, or leak into the bucket. Replacing a faulty unit helps restore automatic ice production. The assembly includes a wiring harness and adapter plug to support the electrical connections used by the replacement kit. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

Part #5303917954
Clipped to the evaporator tubing, this refrigerator defrost thermostat helps limit heater operation during the automatic defrost cycle. It allows the heater circuit to operate when the coils are cold and opens the circuit once they reach the cutoff temperature, helping prevent overheating. A faulty thermostat may interrupt defrost heating, allowing frost to accumulate and block airflow. This can contribute to warmer food compartments or longer running times. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

Part #5308000010
This evaporator fan blade moves cooled air through the refrigerator or freezer compartments when driven by the fan motor. A cracked, warped, or loose blade may vibrate, strike nearby parts, or fail to move enough air. Unusual ticking or humming noises and warmer compartment temperatures may be reasons to inspect the fan assembly.

Fridge got warm and freezer coils were frosted

Fridge is a side by side. The freezer is pretty narrow for a guy with wide shoulders.

Pulled plug.

Had to remove bottom drawers then used nut driver to remove screws closest to back wall in drawer runners. Once the back screws were removed the runners could be swung up or down out of way so back cover could be re moved.

Once back cover was removed thermostat was located attached to top pipe going into coil using a spring clamp.

Cut the wires just outside the crimp connectors going into thermostat. Released the spring clamp buy squeezing botton together.

Removed old badly corroded thermostat.

I wish I had attached the crimp connectors to the new thermostat wires before mounting it. Reaching way in the back, while turning shoulders verticly and trying to get the wire connectors set from both sides was awkward and uncomfortable...The biggest PIA of the whole task.

Once connected I let the fridge (thermostat) cool for 10 min. Turned the dial defrost timer to get it into defrost mode. Stupidly touched the heating element to see if it was getting warm...it was very hot.

Coils steamed...every looked like it was working. Unplugged, put back cover back on and retattached drawer mounts.

Plugged back in and everying is working great!

Unplugged faulty ice maker, removed two screws holding it to the refrigerator and took it out. Reversed the operation with the new ice maker and after a few minutes presto, we have ice.

Ice Maker Stopped Working

It was pretty straight forward. Remove the two screws that hold the unit to the wall of the freezer. In my case, I had to use a different ice maker than what came with the frig. In order to install the replacement unit they sent a wire adaptor so it would attach to the existing wiring. That too was all fine and dandy. The only p roblem was that the end of the wire adaptor did not fit through the existing hole in the rear of the frig. I used a utility knife to cut through the thin metal lining. That worked just fine. However, I could not cut through the insulation because I could not reach it through the small hole. The excess wire was supposed to be pulled through the hole and out through the back of the unit. So now the excess is between the wall of the freezer and the insulation. The unit is working wonderfully. In fact, it is making more ice than I can use. I am very pleased with the replacement unit. This is the 3rd ice maker that has been in this frig. All the others had a design flaw that had a leak in the rear of the unit. This caused all the ice to form into a big block. The replacement unit has not had this problem so far. Thank you for allowing me to explain my situation so that maybe others may benifit from my experience. Thank you. Jack
