refrigerator help?

The timer {if your ref is equipped with one} is a kidney shaped box about the size of an LS1 coil,it will have 4 wires going to it.The dial I'm describing is actually a round slot on the front of the timer which can be turned with a coin or a straight screwdriver.The timers are usually located in the back by the compressor, in the front behind the toe plate,or on the refrig. compartment behind the light sheild.Sometimes all you will see is the round access hole to the dial.If the ref. is equipped with a curcuit board for defrost, you would have to know the activation sequence for the board.In that case, you should probably call someone.It really shouldn't be that expensive a repair,Timers are usually between 20-30 bucks.
