spluttering water dispenser

[paolo]

I have the spluttering water dispenser on my Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer, it only happens when the ice maker is on, also that makes a strange noise when in operation. From what I’ve read on here it is a relay on a board, is it possible to change the relay or do I need a new board? also, where is the board?

Hi
Usually changing the rear pcb situated at the rear right of appliance behind inspection panel sorts this fault but can also be a front selector pcb fault aswell. Usually these boards are changed in tandem under guarantee but are quite pricey if you have no warranty.

To obtain correct spare you will need to contact spares@ with the 85….. number situated on side of wall in salad area of appliance.
Or contact repairs@ for a local engineer to confirm fault.

Hi greg, unfortunately I have no warranty, I bought it as slightly damaged, (scratched door) in february. Is it an easy thing to change?

PCB will need coding (sheet supplied) can be tricky. Float isnt too bad a bit fiddley.
I would see repairs@ personally paolo.
