Default Defrost timer
Brand: KitchenAid
Model Number: KSRA25FKSS00
Age: 5 - 10 years

I cannot find the defrost timer in my Appliance. WHERE is it? Cannot find it anywhere. If I take apart any more parts I may not be able to get it together.
Just trying to test it. Self defrost is not working. Need to find out which of the three parts I need.

HELP

Don't quote me on this but you cannot find it because there isn't one
Looks like your unit uses an adaptive defrost control. I your case I believe it is part of the control board.

Here is a link to the parts breakdown
Whirlpool KSRA25FKSS00

Here is a link to a site that should help
Refrigeration Help Section, Fridges, refrigerators, not cold enough, frost free problems and how to test, noisy fan motors, clicking on and off compressors, door gaskets
Start in the Refrigerator Repair Aid
Then #30 New Adaptive Defrost
You will have to force it into a defrost mode
I would try the Whirlpool method first as there is a good chance your unit is made by them.
