Review: Brought an old frig back to life - I have a Kenmore model 72102100 frig (2001 vintage) that had a broken defrost timer. This resulted with the items in the freezer being coated with frost or ice, and items in the lower frig section getting too warm. The timer was a perfect fit for my model, and was easy to replace. Now the freezer and frig both are working as designed.
Review: Great part. Minor modifications may be needed. - Perfect replacement for the failed part. The only nick to the review is the mounting screw holes are a tad too small. It’s easy enough to fix with a drill. The fridge is no longer running 24/7

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brought an old frig back to life
*by D***S on January 3, 2024*

I have a Kenmore model 72102100 frig (2001 vintage) that had a broken defrost timer. This resulted with the items in the freezer being coated with frost or ice, and items in the lower frig section getting too warm. The timer was a perfect fit for my model, and was easy to replace. Now the freezer and frig both are working as designed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great part. Minor modifications may be needed.
*by A***R on December 25, 2025*

Perfect replacement for the failed part. The only nick to the review is the mounting screw holes are a tad too small. It’s easy enough to fix with a drill. The fridge is no longer running 24/7

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works, no instructions but fixed defective one in old Whirlpool Fridge
*by D***. on October 18, 2020*

Have an old Whirlpool ET18JMXMWR1 in the garage (top freezer bottom fridge). Freezer was cold but fridge ran warm. After some research and youtube videos figured out it was the defrost timer. Looked up part online, saw this was the new replacement. Ordered part, installed part. The old one had two green wires coming from a tab next to the motor winding. Just connected the new black wire tab to that one, some electrical tape and it's working. Just be sure to look at your existing wiring config and see where it needs to hook up as there were no instructions with this model. It does work!
