Hi thank you for your advice. I think you are right about the lack of coolant.When we had the compressor replaced a while ago there was too much coolant in the system and the engineer released some. I think it was a little while after we started getting build up on the back of the fridge. Do you think also that the split door seal could aggravate the problem?Thank you

Well have further examined the Smeg Fab30 and the fridge door seal is split at the top so that is where the air is getting in.Anyone replaced one of these and where can they be sourced?

Hi everyone I don’t know if anyone is still monitoring this thread but first to answer Neely67 there is a pack of the capacitors you need for sale here
http://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/whirlpoo … repair-kit.Now my problems. I have a S20B-RWW20-A/G Whirpool side by side American style fridge /freezer.The ice maker stopped working a few years ago then there was an intermittent clicking from the back for the last two years. But both fridge and freezer were working fine so I left it alone. Then last week the clicking became continuous and the front panel freezer indicator started flashing two green dashes and completely lost temperature. I found this site and read most of the posts on the 50 or so pages and decided to replace the capacitors on the rear board.Bought a set from Bitsbox soldered them on connected the board and all that happened was the fan kept running continuously.The front still shows two dashes. I replaced the new C1 cap with the old C1 cap as I had read that this controls the Condenser, connected up and the condenser and fan ran for about 3 seconds then the clicking started again and after about 30 minutes stopped, the front still showed two dashes. I then replaced the old C1 cap with the new C1 and connected up and nothing no fan no condenser nothing, the front panel however is showing 18.I now have decided to try a new RT314024 relay which is the component which is clicking.Any comments or advice would be appreciated thank you.

Thank you for your reply but I am sure that the metal element behind the fridge used to get warm or hot but it does not do that now.
