Revainrating 5 out of 5

Timer was exactly replacement for my old Whirlpool garage refrigerator.

The timer arrived quickly and was a perfect match for my refrigerator. The one I got was 1/2 hp and 15 amp like the original and mounting screw holes were same size as OEM so I was able to use the original screws. The instructions for the black motor wire placement were a little confusing because I have the version 2 cumulative setup and it didn’t specifically say which procedure to use. I ended up making an educated guess and used procedure 3 because of the wire colors and it worked. So far so good.My original timer was 10 hours and this is 8 hours but I don’t think the 10 hour timer is available anymore and has been superseded by 8 hour timers. I figure since amp and hp ratings match it should be ok. It’s made in China so time will tell how long it lasts.

Pros
  • This fixed my refrigerator, the freezer was freezing up and this fixed the defrost cycle
Cons
  • The installation process for the timer can be difficult and require specialized tools and knowledge, making it a challenging task for those without experience
