Got it running again
My 21 year old Hotpoint refrigerator quit defrosting, froze up solid and quit cooling. Discovered the defrost timer was defunct. It was a 35 minute every 12 hour timer. The WR9X483 is a 30 minute timer every 10 hours, but since I live in Spain it is running on 50 cycle voltage. Since the cycles are slower the timer runs longer, and just happens to run 35 minutes every 12 hours. Perfect. The timer is compact, requires no ground wire, and it's contacts are fully compatible with the defrost heaters and compressor motor. An excellent replacement part.
saved a bunch
Our GE Monogram frig was not working and the appliance store said we would have to replace it. I happened to see a UTUBE video about the defroster timer and noticed that mine was making clicking sounds. I replaced it and it now works fine. Saved about $8000.
