What a brilliant site. Discovered lots of information regarding the above problem on other models.
The appliance is three years old next week – always happens before Christmas when you have stocked up ready to party.
The freezer temp warning came on in the middle of the night. Set it to standby and back on and it seemed OK – same happened a couple of hours later. Now the fridge section is warm – as expected – no cold air from the freezer section.
Our drinks dispenser has been juddering on and off for a couple of months so it sounds like the capacitor problem discussed on previous threads.
Advise please:
– will I need to replace both the front and the back boards?
– will replacing the capicitors work on my model?
– Is it another issue?
– Why are Whirlpool parts so expensive!

The juddering is normally the rear board. The service code indicates you have the later electronics, post the serial number to be sure.
don’t know.
Might be.
No Idea
Check to see if the compressor and compressor fan are running. If they are and there is no cooling at all then you may have a system fault along with the electronics fault.
My own F/F threw it’s hand in last weekend. However it appears that the problem with mine is a system fault along with a front board fault. I’ve got both boards and a compressor coming on Friday, along with another engineer in case it needs the compressor and regassing.
Best bet for you is to get an engineer in to diagnose the problem. The lads from here aren’t rip off merchants and do a great job. It could actually save you money in the long run. Click on the repairs@ on the left to find an engineer in your area.
Update. My one has a hole in the evaporator. One of the back panel screws has been tight against it and has, over the years, rubbed a hole in it.
Now awaiting arrival of another part.DP
