I ordered an adaptive defrost control from Parts Pros. using the sites diagrams and parts list. It is item number 13 on the controls diagram, part #MAC 61005988. This is the part I received, however, it does not exactly match the part it is replacing. The new part is a circuit board with fewer transistors and chips on it even tho the pin connector is the same. Sears has a similar diagram on their web site. It lists several different "series" for this refrigerator. I am told that mine is a series 10. Part # MAC 61005988 matches up with a series 19. The part for a series 10 is part # 61003990. I called customer service about this and they said that these defrost controls are interchangeable, but they also said to contact this forum. I don't want to plug this new part in and find out the hard way that it won't work. What is your verdict?

:) Thank you very much for the quick reply!! Jay

Thanks for the responses;
Just got a new Defrost Timer from the company and it does not work either. I got it from a different place.
