Turn off auto defrost?
I have a 10.1 Whirlpool residential refrigerator. Is there a way to disable the defrost mode temporary?

You need to install an RV absorbsion refer. That lets you drop your DC consumpsion almost completely.:p
Sorry, I just HAD to state this. I get so tired of the folk's that every time there is a complaint on a RV refer, they state to install a residential refer. Older refers had a mechanical defrost time. The current usually as another posted the timer is built into the logic of the main control board. That said, you COULD go to the defrost heaters themselves and disconnect one of the 2 power wire spade terminals, run a 2 wire jumper to a toggle switch(120 20 amp rated) and then just turn the switch on and off as needed. The Timer will still send current to the heater, but if the toggle is OFF then no amp draw happens. Doug
