Is your Whirlpool refrigerator building up frost, not cooling properly, or running constantly without cycling off? A faulty defrost timer is often the culprit. The defrost timer controls when the refrigerator enters its defrost cycle — when it fails, frost accumulates on the evaporator coils and blocks airflow, causing the fridge to lose cooling efficiency.
This OEM-compatible defrost timer kit (Part #2183400) restores proper defrost cycling so your refrigerator maintains the right temperature and runs efficiently again.
