Re: Whirlpool side by side fridge freezer not cooling at all

That’s good advice Bob, I appreciate that. From what I’ve seen on these forums there seems to be a lot of hassles with Whirlpool fridge freezers so we were wondering what would be a good brand. Hadn’t even considered Daewoo so thanks for the steer

Re: Whirlpool side by side fridge freezer not cooling at all

Thanks for the reply Bob, I called a professional to have a look at it and he says there’s no gas at all left in the system.

In his words, “a repair might last 2 days, 2 months or 2 years. Best to get a new fridge”

On the plus side, everything electrical has been checked and found to be working so I’ll be stripping the parts off the fridge before we scrap it and sticking them on Ebay. If anyone needs any PCBs, fans, motors, sensors, drawers, hinges, handles, lights etc then let me know!

Thanks

I’ve let the compressor run for a while and it does get very warm to the touch after a short time. The evaporator doesn’t get cold at all even when the compressor has been running for hours.

I’m thinking wonky compressor or gas leak. Both of which render the fridge beyond economical repair by all accounts.

Update: I’ve sent the rear control module away to Quality Electronic Repairs who were able to tell me that it tests ok. That rules that out as a possible fault then.

Still no further forward on diagnosing the fault. Would the faulty damper stop the whole thing from working?

Thanks

Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

Forgot to mention the display shows a flashing — on the freezer side and 04 on the fridge side. It also beeps when it’s turned on and you have to hit the OK button to stop it.

Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

Hi all,

I have a Whirlpool S25D RBB33-A/G side by side fridge freezer but it’s not cooling down in either the freezer or the fridge.

Compressor is running, condenser coils have been cleaned (they were absolutely full of gunk), evaporator fan is working, condenser fan is working and I have replaced the capacitors on the rear control module with the kit from UK Whitegoods.

I put the fridge in test mode and it flashes up fault code 02 which is “check damper and triac for damper”.

Anyone know how I clear that fault?

Many thanks,
Aidan
