Hi I have the above model fridge/freezer tha has the PCB problem I have seen in other posts after a search on here.
The guy I have had out to it seems to be giving me the runaround.
So I was looking at trying to fix it myself need to know the availability of the PCB price and how to fit if possible.Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
Have I bought a lemon here or what?
Is it possible to contact Brandt I live just outside Manchester.why do u think uve got a pcb problem?

The repairer that came diagnosed a new control module that was 10 days ago and we are still waiting.
The fridge light comes on but no motor noise at all now, it was possible two weeks ago to turn the unit off then on again to get the motor running but that does not work now.assuming the pcb is at the top of the machine, at the front, the part number is 43×9136
im sure there will be one of them available from the online shop here
im sure penguin will be around to help soon
oh, and theyre not too hard to fit, if you remember to unplug it first*
yes, penguin45, one of the forum mods, hes usually on hand to advise about availablity
although, if you click the shop@ link at the top of the page, u should be able to contact someone
Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
Already heard from shop, unit not a stock item 3 to 5 days delivery was hoping to have a fridge/freezer for xmas but seems unlikly now.
A little guidence on how to access the PCB would be handy the controls are at the top of the fridge when you open the door (do’nt want to damage anything by forcing)Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
OK I have been looking at gaining access to the PCB and it looks to me as though the fridge door has to be removed to get access to it, is that correct or not?
Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
I have brandt model CFA 361xu, which has worked brilliantly again since defrosting late July – lsitting at -20celcius.
But… last w/e all the house power circuit fused – and the brandt no longer works at all except interior light – so may need to try a new PCB too – sounds like a similar problem.unibabe
Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
@ unibabe
Sounds like it maybe,I have located the PCB on my model quite easy to replace so have ordered a new PCB expecting dellivery tomorrow Mon 17 dec
will post here if it solves the problem or not (fingers crossed) 😉Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
Sorry chaps don’t do much in the way of refrigeration, so missed this. If you haven’t ordered yet, unibabe, contact spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk with the 43×9136 part number for a competative quote.
Good luck,
Penguin45.Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
Thanks,
Hubby has finally looked at the PCB and has bypassed the relay switch (?) so compressor is working again – and in the interim will run it on a timer switch, as he is appalled to pay £40 for something that costs pennies to make, but he wants to keep the devil fridge freezer we know than splash out more money that we haven’t got on another mass market consumer item with a lifespan of one day more than the guaranteed period.thanks very much re contact for PCB…will follow it up at some point.
Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
UPDATE
Recieved & fitted the new board yesterday afternoon left the unit working overnight (just to be sure) this morning fridge & freezer working as normal 😀
Should have done this sooner instead of depending on nomarks.Well worth the £80 cost of a new PCB.
Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
Ok fridge & freezer seem to be working ok now, just one thing that’s a little worrying we now get a buildup of frost on the back wall of the fridge that did’nt happen before is this a normal thing with this model or has another fault developed.
I know it’s christmas and there maybe no one posting just now but thought I’d give it a shot.Merry christmas & happy new year to all.
