The above URL will take you to an exploded view of the controls. Look at number 23 which will be located behind toe plate below door on the left side. That is the defrost timer. Rotate the clutch head screw Clockwise SLOWLY until you hear a loud click. That is the defrost timer starting the defrost. If the unit restarts after 18-22 minutes and defrost does not take place you problem is most likely the defrost thermostat.

SOURCE: Where is the defrost timer located on GE

This model does not have a defrost timer. It has a motherboard. You must jump out the plug to the main board to test the defrost circuit. In order to do this take the cover off of the main board, find the three wire connector on the base of the main board, connecter is normally blue in color. On the board itself it will identify termials as line, defrost, and compressor. To test you must create a jumper wire.Install the jumper in the plug terminals identified as line and defrost.This will turn the defrost heater on. If the heater does not come on, look for a defective heater or a defrost thermostat(mounted on the top of the evaporator). If the heater does come on replace the thermister(located on top of evap, white in color and has two white wires part#WR55x10025)

Where is the location of a defrost timer in the maytag refrigeraton?

Good day,
It is located in the fresh food compartment on the top to the rear of the main controls.
You can tell where the exact location is because a small hole exists where a screw driver can be inserted and used to advance the timer into a defrost mode, or in some cases when the machine is off because it is in defrost to turn the machine back on. The advancing shaft will only turn clockwise.

Where is the defrost module for a maytag refrigerator (model msd2756dew) located?

Hi, welcome to fixya.

If it is the actual component which control's the defrost cycle ( what was once referred to as a "defrost timer" ) it is located in the fridge section up under the plastic light and control covers.

For many modern fridges including yours, It is known as an "adaptive defrost control" and looks like this...

If you are referring to the actual defrost heater and bi-metal/DTS, they are located in the freezer section behind the evaporator cover.

Hope that answer's your question. Let me know either way.

Thank's for visiting "fixya" today. Please take a moment and rate the info provided for you here.

The part number is 61005988, and it is located in the control housing section of the unit, just above the heat shield section.

Maytag refrigerator, feezer side coil frozen and frigirator not

Defrost circuit failed, needs to be able to defrost the coils so air can pass through them thus cooling evenly. You can check the heaters located on the coils probably near the bottom back wall of the freezer with a ohm meter if you read through, the heaters are good, if you get no reading the heaters are bad. Or could be defrost timer or on newer models the adaptive defrost control which is a circuit board. If its an older model you can manually turn the timer with a screwdriver if you feel resistance, then you should replace the timer. Also in the circuit is the defrost thermostat located on the coils, this is the least expensive of the 3 components to replace. You should have a schematic located under the fridge, use this to determine which type of timer you have and for further trouble-shooting. Please let me know if this helps

Freezer is not maintaining cold temp. is there a timer for the defrost?

Yes, it must have a timer somewhere. Many manufacturer's locate the timer at the bottom behind the grille, Maytag may be different, putting it behind a cover inside the fresh food compartment.

Fridge less and less cold. both sides. now totally not cold. defrost timer?new fridge

The parts manual on that refrigerator show a defrost timer inside the fresh food compartment behind the control panel. Need you to turn the timer clockwise with a flathead screwdriver slowly until the compressor stops. Leave it alone for 30 minutes and if it does not turn itself back on then we need to replace the timer. If not we need to unplug the refrigerator and remove the back panel inside the freezer. We will need to test the defrost heater and inspect the defrost thermostat. Let me know when you are ready. The part number for the timer is 68233-3
