It works! The old Tappan Refrigerator in my Apartment again reliable!
The old (apparently previously "repaired") defrost timer was hot to the touch minutes after being removed. While the refrigerator was so old that I am unable to find a manual for it online, I was able to partially match refrigerator model number. With some trepidation, I pried out the old timer and connected this one. The refrigerator now works far more reliably. A sticking defrost timer can literally prevent your refrigerator from cycling on. Needless to say, I am very happy with this timer. Yes, it looks like what is in the photo. There are installation videos available online. You just snap on the connector from your refrigerator and manually turn the grey disk in the center until it clicks twice in rapid succession. Plug your refrigerator back in, and let the refrigerating begin!

FIts and Works - Kennmore Model 253.64163400
Needed a new timer after fridge was ice cold in the freezer but main compartment was warm to hot :( Looked up the part and found it here. Installed it this weekend. There are no instruction for install, - Google for how to remove the old one and install the new part. Plug and Play with no adjustment needed. Part has been installed since 4/20 and is still operating properly. Fridge goes into defrost cycle and cooling cycle. No frost build up in freezer section and main section is nice and cold :) I can now put my leftovers in there and not fear they will go bad.

Failed after 11 months.
Replaced this in my Whirlpool upright freezer. Very easy to replace. Purchased in August 2024 and it lasted 11 months before failing. I replaced again in July 2025 with the same product since it was very inexpensive. We'll see how long this one lasts. I'm conflicted about the review because I should take into consideration price vs performance. I think 3.5 stars is more accurate.

Works ok so far
Took a chance on this timer, off brand. I like to use original USA.parts but this part was priced right and delivered quickly, it looks different than the original but it seems to work ok. Time will tell if it’s durable, not sure if old one was bad but it was 25 years old, also installed a new defroster thermostat, fridge is running like new, both parts from Amazon were about $20.

Fit great after drilling out the holes.
It fixed out 25 year old Whirlpool 19 cuft refrigerator. Part was same shape as the original but with a clear part showing the gear system of the timer. But try as I might it would not slide over the retainer pins, so I slowly drilled out the holes until it would just slide on, I put the retainer clips back on even though it felt sturdy. Now my refrigerator is working like new, just took a while to adjust the temperature to 35.5F. Around 34F the lettuce freezes, and above 37F the food doesn't last as long, but now it perfect. No more freeze ups.
