WR9X482 - GE Refrigerator Timer

The WR9X482 (WR9X482) is a genuine part manufactured by GE for use in refrigerators. This part is a timer, sometimes referred to as a defrost timer, which is integral to the operation of your appliance. It is compatible with various brands that utilize GE components in their appliances.

The WR9X482 operates by controlling the automatic defrost function in your refrigerator. This is achieved through a motor-driven, spring-wound, mechanical system that opens and closes electrical contacts at fixed intervals and durations. These actions, in turn, activate the defrost heater and terminator, ensuring the periodic removal of accumulated ice in the evaporator.

If your refrigerator is not defrosting regularly or if the defrost cycle is not completing, it may be a symptom of a failing WR9X482 timer. In such cases, replacement of the timer is required. The specific location and function of the WR9X482 may vary based on your refrigerator's model number.

Before purchasing, verify your device's model number for compatibility with the WR9X482 timer. This ensures that the part will fit and function correctly within your appliance.
