    To the OP. Slow down. Read your wiring diagrams. They tell you everything you need to know.

    Looks like he found the right defrost timer didn't he ? So I would have to say yes to some degree.

    It would not stop defrosting if the timer motor stopped while in defrost yes but most systems have a heater hi limit to stop a melt down form happening. Also if you fan delay/defrost termination failed in the termination mode, it would trigger the defrost solenoid taking it out of defrost mode as soon as it went in.

    as it turned out we changed the defrost terminators and the contactors. i think the contactors were sticking keeping the compressor running when it should have shut off

    Well on some larger systems the heater won't energize till compressor shuts off. Heater relay off aux contacts on compressor contactor. Your post #13 is a good starting point to check.

    So,,,,you changed the DFT, the contacter, and the time clock,,,,,,Which part was faulty, or were all three bad??? I'd have a hard time billing a customer for parts that weren't needed, or maybe that's just me,,,,,,,,
    One way to outthink people is to make them think you think. They'll think you're not really thinking what you're trying to get them to think you think...........
