I had a repair guy come in and repair my fridge that was not freezing- $400 later and a new replaced capacitor .. two weeks later the freezer stops again .. repair guy tells me it's the timer a d it will cost $200.. I refuse to pay more so I bought it myself and replaced it.. gave it a few clicks with the screwdriver and it starts running.. then I notice it hasn't turned off one .. its constantly running and won't stop.. is it supposed to do that until it settles? Why does it keep running non stop? Should I give the timer a few more clicks ? Please help I'm so exhausted with this fridge already .. thx

If the temps are good and the unit is shutting down periodically I would say it is working fine. If you shut it off and then turn it back on, it will not start right up, especially if the t-stat is satisfied.
