Re: Whirlpool S20E RBB2V-A/G Control Panel
onibhoy, I have just seen your reply and would like to thank you, sorry for the delay but I have been out of the country for a while. With your instructions I can now order the parts and see if this fixes my problem.
Re: Whirlpool S20E RBB2V-A/G Control Panel
An update. The control board on this model is located behind the bottom panel on the right hand side looking from the back. Turn off the power. Undo 6 hex screws and lift the rear panel over the vertical clips to get it up and off. Then undo 2 hex screws to release the control box. It is a tight wiggle to get it out but it comes free and the cables are long enough for the box to come almost onto the floor. Prising open the box clips can be done with a flat screwdriver to reveal the control unit. Release 5 molex connectors and four screws holding the board in and it will come out complete.
I changed all of the capacitors and re-installed within 90 minutes. Sadly it did not solve my flashing display problem so I guess the fault is in the front display panel. Any hints on how this can be removed would be welcome.

Thank you for the diagram showing the position of the control panel. However if you look at the back of this machine there is no obvious access. I cannot post an image to show you although I have photographed it. There are two ways into the back of the machine – via six or so Philips head screws holding the large steel back panel on or via about 8 hex head slotted screws on the bottom panel, to me this seems the obvious first place to look but it will not give access to that top right hand corner shown on your diagram. Still confused….

The back of the appliance does not have an obvious plastic case. It is made of two solid sheet metal plates, one that covers the entire back apart from the bottom 9 inches, then a smaller full width one that has vents on the right hand side looking from the back (presumably over the compressor), and on the left side an entrance for the power cord and an entrance for the water connector is in the middle.

Service number is 8586172150 and yes I have read the instructions that are on the website and included with the parts but they do not tell you how to access the rear mounted electronic control module. So I ask again – how do I get to this module so that I can take it out and make the repair?
