759802 Genuine Fridge Defrost Timer Kit for Westinghouse, Electrolux Frost Free Fridges, Includes Timer 1415435 and Mounting Plate

Kit 759802 is a genuine Electrolux defrost timer kit for frost free fridges. It contains a defrost timer, part 1415435, along with a square mounting plate and two screws, so the timer can be mounted neatly in place of the original. The 1415435 timer is a Westinghouse fridge part, so the kit suits frost free Westinghouse fridges that use that timer.

Fridge icing up or warming? Check the defrost timer

In a frost free fridge the defrost timer switches the compressor off at set intervals and turns on the defrost heater to melt ice from the evaporator coil. When the timer stops advancing, the fridge either never defrosts, so the coil ices solid and the fresh food section warms while the freezer stays cold, or it sticks in defrost and nothing gets cold at all. Ice built up on the rear freezer panel and weak airflow are the classic clues. On mechanical timers you can turn the advance slot with a screwdriver to see whether the fridge switches between cooling and defrost.

Installing the timer kit

Unplug the fridge at the wall before you go near the timer. Take a clear photo of the wire colours and terminal positions on the old timer, as mixing them up can leave the fridge stuck in defrost. Mount the new timer on the square plate with the supplied screws, reconnect each wire to its matching terminal and confirm the fridge cools once it's plugged back in.
