A dependable defrost cycle controller that helps your refrigerator maintain consistent cooling while preventing damaging frost buildup on the evaporator coils.

The General Electric WR9X502 Refrigerator Defrost Timer regulates your refrigerator’s automatic defrost system by switching between cooling and defrost modes at precise intervals. When this part fails, frost can quickly accumulate on the evaporator coils, restricting airflow and causing weak cooling performance, warm spots, or excessive compressor strain.
