See Page 4-16 for access and removal pro-
cedures for the defrost timer.
Manually advance the timer by inserting a
small flat head screwdriver into the access
hole on the defrost timer. Turn it until you
hear one “click” closely followed by anoth-
er. Continue turning 360 degrees until one
“click” is heard. This places the timer in the
defrost mode.
An ohmmeter should indicate continuity be-
tween terminals “Y” to “R”. “Y” to “GR” should
indicate no continuity.
Manually advance the timer until it “clicks”
out of the defrost mode.
Measure for continuity again. “Y” to “R”
should have no continuity, “Y” to “GR” should
have continuity. If these readings are not
correct, replace the defrost timer.
