Avanti refrigerator I have an Avanti refrigerator. I bought the part I was needing ''defrost timer'' but since the wires are colored and the part only has numbers I do not know what goes with what to connect it.

Usually the vent at the rear of the freezer is blocked with ice. Often caused by a faulty heater or defrost timer. Also check the circulating fan for the fridge.

I will try to locate a wiring diagram for your model ET19RKXFN01 but to change the defrost timer you will only need to know its location. Here is a link to the repair parts=> ET19RKXFN01_Repair_Parts_List
Go to page 5 of the repair parts list and you will see item number 4 Then on page 6 of the parts list you will see the timer part number beside the item 4. That is your defrost timer part number 2193084 Defrost Timer


Your refrigerator is an older model and may have the wiring digram in a packet behind the kick plate in the front near floor. Changing the defrost timer will not require use of a wiring diagram. Simply remove the old timer and replace the new defrost timer by plugging it into the wiring harness. The defrost timer can be found behind the control panel inside the fresh food compartment where the controls are located above the top shelf. If you have questions just let me know, Thanks Sea Breeze

Numbers are 2143 Colors are 2-Pink 1-Yellow 4-Blue 3-White This is if you are looking at the bottom of the timer facing the numbers. The Pin that is separated from the other three is number 3-White Wire.

The issue could be the cold control, timer, wiring, or the compressor.

The temp control has to be closed for voltage to get to the timer. The timer then calls for the fans and compressor to run. The timer could have stalled after a defrost cycle or the cold control could not be sending voltage to the timer.

If any part of the automatic defrosting system isn't working, the evaporator will turn into an iceberg and no cold air will circulate into the lower compartment.

Possible causes in that case could be the defrost timer, the defrost thermostat ("bimetal"), the defrost heater, the defrost thermal fuse (if there is one), or the wiring and plugs connecting them.

Removing the back panel of the freezer compartment should reveal the iceberg and allow you to defrost it with a hair dryer or fan. Then you can get at the parts to test them (except the defrost timer, which may be down by the compressor).

Defrost heater bad, defrost thermostat bad or Defrost timer. Defrost heater and Thermostat can be continuity checked. Defrost thermostat can only be checked if at freezer temperature. Both should show continuity if good. If those two test good the process of elimination means it's the defrost timer. Always unplug refrig when performing these checks
