Hi Gary,

From what you say it sounds like a board problem but I couldn’t and wouldn’t say it was or wasn’t with any confidence.

Re: whirlpool american style fridge/freezer problem

thanks mate i have been doing some research aswell and i came to the same conclusion, i was looking at the repair kit with the 9 components, block things and a capacitator, u think i should go this route as i dont have the 100+ £’s to buy a new board just on chance, u think i should try the repair first? …thanks alot for your reply much appretiated..Gary

The repair to the board is cheap enough so it’s only a few quid to take a punt on it.

hi there, ive not went ahead yet with the repair, i popped into my local repair shop,i explained what was wrong, he said he thinks its the compressor, can i ask, would the compressor be warm if a component was faulty on the pcb? and if the compressor is warm also could that mean the compressor could be faulty

Re: whirlpool american style fridge/freezer problem

Any frost in the freezer ? could be blocked with ice in the freezer,this would effect air circulation throughout the appliance,freezer and fridge.
