Defrost clock failure
Contact points on original defrost clock burnt out after 36 years of continued use. Hotpoint does not stock replacement defrost clock. PartSelect replacement clock was a simple substitute which fits directly into the original mounting bracket. Space is tight to get the part out, so remove screw in upper right hand corner of bracket to d

Make a note of the order of the color connections and connect new clock in the same order. Replacement part has no ground wire since housing is entirely plastic. Push clock back behind frame. Reposition bracket. Install screw to mount bracket to clock. Then screw bracket back into frame. Glad I found Part Select online... saved me the hassle of getting my old spare fridge out of the basement!

Not cooling because of ice accumulation. But worked if I manually advanced the timer to defrost; waited for defrost; and advanced timer to end defrost. (Once very 6 to 12 hours.)
Turned off and unplugged refrigerator. Removed 1 screw (Phillips head) to detach old timer and 2 hex head screws to remove bracket from "beam" in front (bottom) of "fridge"and detach grounding wire.

It would have been quicker if I knew what I was doing in advance

The defrost clock timer makes a clicking noise when operating. Is that normal?
For model number ZIS42NCA
Hi Ken, Thank you for the question. You should not be able to hear a click unless you are right next to the timer and listening. The click should not be noticeably loud. Hope this helps!

I believe my fridge is short cycling, turning on and off frequently. Tried a new thermostat (WR09x442). Didn’t fix it. Is this part likely the next suspect?
For model number TFF22KYB
Hello Chad, Thank you for the question. When the appliance is cycling on and off, it could be caused by dirt and dust on the coils that prevents efficient operation. We suggest unplugging the appliance and cleaning the coils. Please submit a new question if you have any follow ups. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
