Re: old Hotpoint acting up
You replaced the defrost timer?
Since you had the patience to record run cycles, my best theory is your defrost timer has failed to terminate it's defrost cycle. Use a flat blade screw driver to gently advance the timer's over-ride CLOCKWISE.
To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
