DEFROST TIMER ON GSS201EPD WW - GE GSS25SGMBS Side by Side Refrigerator

Chances are that the=> WR57X10050 Water Inlet Valve has become defective on the dispenser side of the valve.. I am here should you have questions, Thanks John T. Appliance 911

IT DOES NOT HAVE A DEFROST TIMER EVERYTHING ON THIS UNIT RUNS OFF A MAIN BOARD

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/elite_9cbd96cb0728162b

The defrost timer is part of the main control board located on the rear of the unit. Here is the new updated board for that unit.




The part comes with a 365 day, any part, any reason return policy.

Yes the GSS23KGSAWW defrost is controlled by the WR55X10942
motherboard. What is happening that you would ask about a defrost timer? Let me know if you have questions, Thanks Sea Breeze

Hi, I think Your model number is HSS25IFMDCC . There is no defrost timer on your refrigerator, main relay board controls defrost cycles in this fridge. main board p/n WR55X10942 But I suggest to check on heater and defrost switch first - more common problem on this refrigerators. here is my video. hope it helps.

Your model has no filter .

That panasonic model number doesn't come up in my parts catalog.But defrost timers are pretty generic.Most refers in that era use the same timer.Locate the timer and remove it.Take it to any appliance parts store and they can surely match it up with a universal timer that they have in stock.Cost is less than 25.00.

I would suggest fixing it . You only have 2 parts in the defrost system . A timer , and the defrost heater which comes with the bimetal , pt . # WR51X10031 .Most probable , is the defrost heater . You will need to remove the rear inside freezer panel , and defrost the coils with a hair dryer . After defrosting , 2 screws hold each ( 2 ) heater on , ant the defrost thermostat , just clips onto the top of the coils .

If freezer is icing up, you might have a defrost problem. Frost free models have a heating element that is controlled by a timer to automatically defrost ice, defrost timer turns on defrost heating element every 12 hours to melt ice in freezer and allow good air flow.
You can test defrost element with an ohm meter(located inside freezer coils-will have two wires going to a plug connection), if OK replace defrost timer (located in various places depending on make and model
