Universal 240V Refrigerator Defrost Timer – 8 Hour / 25 Minute
The Universal 240V Refrigerator Defrost Timer is a replacement mechanical timer designed for selected refrigerators and freezers that use a conventional timed defrost system. It controls when the appliance switches between the normal cooling cycle and the automatic defrost cycle.
This timer operates on an approximately 8-hour cooling cycle followed by an approximately 25-minute defrost period. It helps restore normal operation when the original timer becomes stuck, fails to advance or no longer switches correctly between cooling and defrost modes.
