Universal Refrigerator Defrost Timer (TMDE802ZC1)

The TMDE802ZC1 Universal Defrost Timer by Yuling is a critical replacement component designed for frost-free refrigerators and coolers operating on 200-240V AC. As a central "brain" for the cooling cycle, this timer manages the transition between the cooling phase and the defrost phase, preventing ice buildup on the evaporator coils that can lead to poor cooling performance or compressor failure.

Reliable Technical Specifications

• Universal Compatibility: This 4-pin timer is engineered as a versatile replacement for a wide range of global refrigerator brands. It is suitable for any 220V system requiring a standard defrost cycle sequence.

• Precision Timing: The TMDE802ZC1 typically follows a factory-set cycle (often 8 hours of cooling followed by 7 to 15 minutes of defrosting), ensuring that the heating element has sufficient time to melt frost without significantly raising the internal cabinet temperature.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with flame-retardant materials and high-conductivity copper terminals, it is designed for longevity in the high-humidity environment behind the refrigerator's rear panel.

Signs of a Faulty Timer

If your refrigerator is running constantly but the temperature is rising, or if the compressor refuses to kick back in, the defrost timer is likely the culprit. Replacing the unit with this YULING universal part is a cost-effective way to restore your appliance's efficiency and extend the life of your food.
