Part 5304526183 Refrigerator Defrost Timer

Purpose

Regulates defrost cycle timing

Details

This is a genuine Frigidaire defrost timer used in refrigerators. It cycles the refrigerator between cooling and defrost modes to periodically melt frost buildup on the evaporator coils. If the timer fails, frost may accumulate, cooling becomes inefficient, ice build-up occurs, or the freezer may not maintain correct temperature. Replacing with this OEM timer restores proper defrost scheduling and reliable cooling performance.
