1) Troubleshoot walk-thru indicates that tripper is wrong, or timer mechanism is worn out:
Check that tripper is labeled ON, and compares similarly with old tripper, and is not worn down. Trippers are made of softer metal and designed to wear out before the timer mechanism wears out.

2) Buy new timer mechanism: If the new ON tripper does not push the on-off lever, then timer mechanism is probably worn out.
Buy new T104M mechanism, and change out with existing mechanism using thumb spring located top inside box.

3) How it works: The trippers rotate around on clock dial. Trippers come into contact with on-off lever, and trippers push lever.
On tripper pushes lever one direction. Off tripper pushes same lever other direction.
Each time the lever moves back and forth, the manual override also clicks with audible sound.
The lever moves a slide bar located on back of timer mechanism, and that action opens and closes electrical circuit.

4) Since any timer mechanism can fit into the T10404R control panel, you can also buy and install T104M210 timer mechanism with fireman's switch that turns off heater 20 minutes before turning off pool pump.
For 2-speed pool pump, the digital P1353 can also be installed, and this timer would replace both timing mechanisms in the T10404R. Non-electronic timers are more reliable.

The unit comes with the frost set at a default. You need to adjust the frost to fit the mixture and consistency that you are making in your machine. To change the frost and lower the temperature so that the compressor will continue to run once the the product is added you will need a screw driver.

The instructions on how to change the frost level and temperature on your machine are on page number five of your instructions manual. Just in case you dont have a copy of it, here is a link to download a free copy:

I believe its counterclock wise to lower the temperature? I would refer to page five for exact instructions.

Problem is not clear.

If this is new installation, then wiring is probably wrong.
Voltage and model number of timer is not known for certain.
You posted under T10404R that has 2 T104 240V timers.

If timer worked before, then you might need $18 clock motor

Probably just the $18 clock motor, or $2 trippers.
Or buy timer-mechanism-only and snap into same box.

Did you install the ON and OFF tripper pins on the wheels?
Are the clock wheels keeping time?

the frost buildup is entirely due to badly fitting seals,its also costing you a fortune to run it.A 5 sided cube is easily adjusted by using a spirit level and spacers under the feet/wheels(if fitted)once adjusted the lid should fit square.otherwise check the hinges for adjustment.
WHEN FITTED/INSTALLED CORRECTLY, THE LID SITS TIGHT ALL ROUND,NO AIR GAPS.....

The problem might be the trips.

You will need a professional at this point.
