Contact usThe WG03F00975 defrost timer is a direct OEM replacement that mounts in the same location as the original and uses the same wiring harness. It regulates the timing of defrost cycles — typically cycling the heater on for a set period to melt frost off the evaporator coils, then shutting off to resume normal cooling. When this timer fails, the defrost heater never activates, frost accumulates on the coils, and airflow through the refrigerator is restricted — leading to warm temperatures, excessive compressor run time, and higher energy bills.✓ Common Symptoms Fixed Frost or ice buildup on the back wall of the freezer or refrigerator compartment Refrigerator not cooling properly or running warmer than set temperature Compressor running constantly without cycling off Excessive energy consumption or higher-than-normal utility bills Refrigerator not defrosting automatically ✓ Key Features & Specifications OEM GE part number: WG03F00975 Direct replacement — no modifications required Controls automatic defrost cycle timing Compatible with GE top-freezer and bottom-freezer refrigerator models Fits models including CTS17, CTS18, A3316, A3317, and 37511 series Replaces 35 superseded and cross-reference part numbers ✓ Buying OptionsOEM (WG03F00975): The original GE-manufactured defrost timer.
