Supco UET120 Refrigerator Defrost Timer Control Universal 120 Volt Electronic , White

This item works great.For those who have used this electronic defrost timer and seem to have it be "stuck in defrost mode cycling", you need to make sure that your refrigerator supplies a "constant" neutral from the defrost heater circuit. Some refrigerators break the neutral feed to the defrost timer "motor" (snap switch on evaporator coil) when the evaporator temperature sensor comes up to sufficient "warmness". This will put this unit (as per its instructions if you read them) into a constant cycling of DEFROST-START STOP START. An older "clock motor" style defrost timer is immune to this quirk. As the instructions state, if the timer is in the DEFROST mode and power is interrupted, it will resume at the beginning of another DEFROST cycle, putting you in an undesired endless loop.Simply rewire your refrigerator's defrost circuit feeding this "electronic" defrost controller to supply "constant" neutral and you will be happily "off to the races".Works great.I like the "adjustability" of both defrost cycle "frequency" and duration to match a specific refrigerator's personality.

The original one would defrost too long and start to melt the ice in the ice maker. No more - now I can control how long it defrosts. Newer refrigerator s have computers to track how often the door is opened. Love the flexibility and it was a plug and play for me.

Great universal timer just order the proper pin out of plug

I purchase this timer and returned because it appeared to not advance thru the defrost cycle. The replacement unit was doing the same thing until I carefully read one sentence in the instruction sheet that came with the unit.. "If the UET is in the defrost cycle when the power is interrupted, the defrost cycle will start over when the power is restored"... I had bought the unit to fix a fairly new under-counter unit that the costly electro-mechanical defrost timer wouldn't advance beyond the defrost cycle. The wiring diagram for this my refrigerator shows the neutral for the timer (terminal 3) was inline with a bi-metal switch, presumably a safety device for the defrost heating element. Once I routed around the bi-metal element the unit appears to be working as described. I believe the timer would start the defrost cycle, the heating element would start and at some point the bi-metal switch would open and power interrupted, heating element would cool off, switch close, power restored to the timer and cycle restarts... perhaps an endless loop! I mention if someone has a similar situation check if there's a situation where power interrupts and reset while in the defrost cycle.

WANT TO SAVE ON PARTS? THIS IS ONE WAY TO DO IT. A UNIVERSAL ELETRONIC TIMER, WORKS ON MANY REFRIGERATORS, TIME IS ADJUSTABLE, FOR DEFROST CYCLE AND FITS IN MOST PLACES, THIS IS NOT A MECHANICAL TIMER, SAVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTINGS LOVE IT, WILL BUY MORE

I couldn’t figure out how to wire it to my Magic Chef refrigerator

Worked just like the factory defrost timer.At half the cost.

If your refrigerator is acting up or is like an oven when u open it odds are your old mechanical defrost timer has failed. This electronic timer is just what you need.
