How can I test the defrost time, heater and defrost thermostat to determine which is bad? Evap freezes every few days and have to manual defrost with a hair dryer.


Thanks for any help !!!

You can turn the defrost timer till it clicks and everything shuts down. The heater should now come on. If it does, replace the timer. If it doesn't, check the heater and defrost thermostat. Turn the timer again till everything starts back up to end the defrost cycle.

Part 23 in diagram 3 is your timer. It's 23A in the parts list.
