215846604 - Electrolux Refrigerator Timer

This Electrolux Refrigerator Timer (215846604) is a genuine part, ideal for Electrolux, Frigidaire, Tappan, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse refrigerator models. It ensures precise control over the defrost cycle by automatically switching between freezing and defrosting modes. Known as an "automatic defrost timer," it acts as the refrigerator's clock, managing the defrost system efficiently by alternating power to heaters and fans in a programmed sequence. The timer, being motor-driven and spring-wound, advances cams to open and close electrical contacts at fixed intervals, energizing the defrost heater and terminator to remove evaporate frost automatically. Common symptoms indicating the need for a replacement include a refrigerator that is running non-stop or not running at all due to failure in advancing and stopping automatic defrost cycles. Before purchasing, check your device's model number for compatibility.
