Excellent Video ... Thank you very much !!!

[@yec4044]

Thank you so much for this video. It's helped my anxiety and made me confident that I am capable.

[@kelvinbridglal4879]

Very well explained and simplified. Thanks

[@jamesowens7176]

Thanks. I was trying to figure if there was trick to those speed nuts. Ended up breaking off the plastic studs (guess I pried too hard). Put small tapered screw into the ends of the plastic stud to hold the timer on. So far so good.

[@BoogalooBeet]

Yes. The previous models had screws to hold it in place. These speed nuts stink.

[@wisdomwisdom817]

Awesome job thank you so much

[@genekerr8064]

No mounting screws on ours!

[@BoogalooBeet]

Thanks. Know I know how to get those (not so speedy) speed nuts off. I prefer the screw mounts on the previous models.

The Defrost Timer is Not located there on our (year 2000) 36 inch Whirlpool French Door.

I have this same fridge. Where is the temp gauge for shutoff? Is it the little spring under the defrost timer housing?

[@stevelaminack1516]

Can I change the time when my whirlpool refrigerator defrosts (WBB322DMBM00)?

[@easye1311]

I'm having a hard time releasing that locking tab from top of the housing there. I don't know how you did your so effortlessly so I'll just replace my timer when the housing is hanging

[@yec4044]

Where you able to change it?
