Re: Whirlpool Upright Freezer AFG8080 – Clicking

I negotiated with the insurers and used their money to buy a new board from this site. Fixed the freezer and has worked OK ever since. Took about 5 minutes!

I compared the old and new boards and the only difference I can see is that they have uprated a capacitor from 16V to 25v. Its capacitor C3 (100uf). On examination this capacitor looks a little domed in appearance.

I have kept my old board and will swap this capacitor if the new board starts to play up.

This ties in with some information on similar faults with other Whirlpool freezers.

If you do swap the capacitor, let me know if it works.
