Defrost timer for refrigeration systems
The Paragon A1402-00 is a mechanical defrost control timer designed for commercial refrigeration equipment. It operates on a 120V AC supply and uses an SPDT contact rated at 15 A to manage the defrost cycle. This component suits technicians maintaining walk-in coolers or display cases that require timed defrost initiation.
Replaces worn or failed mechanical timers
When an existing timer no longer advances correctly or the contacts stick, this unit restores the scheduled defrost function. The jump is worth it if the current timer cannot complete the 21-minute defrost period or if the maximum of eight daily cycles no longer matches the equipment demand. It fits installations where time-based termination is specified.
Runs continuous daily cycles without drift
The mechanism advances on mains frequency to initiate defrost up to eight times per day. Each cycle holds the defrost circuit for 21 minutes before returning to refrigeration. Because the motor is synchronous, the timing stays consistent over long periods, avoiding the gradual drift that can cause ice buildup or excessive energy use.

Questions about this item
What mounting holes or brackets does the Paragon A1402-00 timer use?
The unit has no enclosure, so it mounts directly inside an existing control panel or junction box using its integral terminals and case.
How is the 21-minute defrost cycle set on this SPDT timer?
The defrost time is fixed at 21 minutes and the timer initiates up to eight cycles per day automatically once wired to 120 V AC.
When should the Paragon A1402-00 be replaced in a refrigeration system?
Replace the timer if the mechanical contacts no longer switch the 15 A load reliably or if the 21-minute defrost period becomes inconsistent.
