Defrost Timer for Refrigerators

The Defrost Timer is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part compatible with various GE refrigerator models, including brands like Hotpoint and Sears-Kenmore. This component is crucial for managing the refrigerator's automatic defrost cycle. By doing so, it ensures the appliance maintains its cooling efficiency and keeps food fresh by preventing ice from forming on the cooling coils. The timer operates on a cycle of 10 hours and 35 minutes.

Over time, a defrost timer may fail due to normal wear and tear, exposure to moisture, or from impact damage.

Indicators of a malfunctioning defrost timer include:
- Reduced or uneven cooling within the refrigerator
- Ice buildup on the interior walls or coils
- Accumulation of water or condensation in the compartments or drawers
- Noticeable buzzing or clicking sounds from the rear of the appliance

This replacement part effectively addresses issues such as the refrigerator being too warm.
