Defrost timer has a knob on the side.
What is the function of this knob.
What happens if I rotate it?
For model number SBI20MW
Hello Michael, thank you for your question. The timer dial controls the duration of each defrost cycle and rotates once every two hours. It is calibrated in in 2 minute increments up to 110 minutes and has a hand set pointer which indicates the length of the cycle in minutes. We hope this helps.
