Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!
Thanks for the response kwatt. The electronics guy was confident that both my boards were working ok after his repairs so I’m sure the problems with my appliance are being caused by something else. It was definitely worth spending a tenner to try the replacement capacitor kit and I’m sure that solution will work for a lot of people. However, with the known reliability issues and the ridiculous cost of Whirlpool parts, I think it’s time to say “enough’s enough” and scrap it! I’m going for Bosch next time for some quality German engineering and steering clear of another American Side-by-Side effort!!
Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!
I have the S25BRSS31-A/G model purchased in June 2003. Took out the 8-year parts warranty, which obviously expired last June. During that time we have had 2 rear boards replaced, one front board and the ice maker. Alarm with dashes started early hours of Christmas Day morning(!) and lost temperature in fridge and freezer. Saw repair advice on this site and ordered repair kit. Fitted replacement capacitors and refitted rear board but still not working. Gave both front and rear boards to electronics expert who tested them and replaced some more faulty components on front board. Refitted both boards but still no joy!!
Shouldn’t be any ice anywhere as appliance has been empty and not working since Christmas Day. Fans are operating but compressor isn’t. Is it likely then that the compressor is defective and, if so, is my most economical solution to buy a new fridge freezer in view of the known ongoing problems with these models?
Any help / advice much appreciated!!
