Finding replacement defrost timer for Whirlpool refrigerator/freezer

I am trying to find an ORIGINAL replacement 10 hr defrost timer for this model. So far, I've only been able to get an 8 hour one with a black wire pigtail coming out, which makes the installation iffy. I did install an aftermarket 8 hr timer, but my refrigerator/freezer is not operating properly (defrosts too often). The original part # is 2176648. It does not have any external wires other than the four copper clips coming out of the base.

Len, The manufacturer had redesigned this part and the old timer is no longer available. According to the installation instructions, replacement timer will provide defrost every 8 hours of compressor run time. Per the Tech sheet for this model there is Version 2 cumulative compressor run timer application and the timer should be wired as described in Procedure 3 (page 3). - The defrost time authorized by Whirlpool Part number: AP3110896

I'm replacing the defrost timer - in the part instructions, it shows 3 possible situations and gives 3 possible schematics for the defrost heater circuit in order to know which pin to put the pigtail for the timer motor on. Unfortunately, I don't have the schematic for this refrigerator and I haven't had much luck finding one online. Can anyone tell me which pin it should be - or point me to a site where I can find the schematic?
