whirlpool side by side help

[cdsc]

Hi i am new to this forum.

My Whirlpool S20DRWW30-A/G side by side American style fridge freezer just packed in, two weeks after the warrenty ran out.

It is displaying the flashing — for freezer temperature when you switch on the relay clicks and the compressor is running and getting hot but the freezer temperature is only droping 2 degs or so over 3 hours. Any ideas on what might be wrong I dont want to spend £180 on a new pcb if it’s something else. Is there any way to by-pass or test the pcb ?

Any help much appreciated, anyone got a schematic/servicing manual.

If the compressor is running and getting hot, you may find it needs a regas, if you turn the power off, take the back panal off inside the freezer and see if the bars have an even spread of frost across them, if not, and the compressor is running, you will prob. need a refrigeration engineer.

If they’re only 1/2 frozen, it could be blocked. Also you will see 2 wires either side of the back just below the fan, you may find one of those connections has come loose. ( for the defrost heater ) they will be 1 wire on there own, either side.
