Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Evaporator repeatedly frosts over, defrost never starts/ends correctly, cooling stops at the wrong time, or timer testing identifies a failed contact/motor.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Timer will not advance, contacts fail to switch, intermittent cooling/defrost operation, or frost buildup consistent with a defrost-cycle timing fault.

Pro Tip: Confirm the heater and defrost thermostat/sensor are good before condemning the timer; match terminal layout and model exactly and note the original wiring positions before transfer.
