Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

Hi you Friging engineers

Have now retired to France due to ill health but kept most of my tools, guy local to me has a Whirlpool S20E RWW2V-A/G which now blows trip, after power supply problems to house, most of my work was on commercial kit but I did repair a few american/canadian units but the build quality on this unit looks pretty poor, sorry I degress I checked the compressor all OK, ran a fly lead to it and it runs fine, went for the defrost heater but that seems OK tried to run unit with defrost heater disconnected it clicked a few times but did not run refitted the heater and it tripped instantly? I thought it strange it not running with the heater disconected but without a circuit diagram not easy to trace? I was going to ask if anyone had a diagram but after reading through these posts is it worth repairing?????? he has had 5years use out of it, he took out an extended warrany which has finished about a month ago and no one is interested in repairing it, if anyone has a circuit diagram just for my interest, to see if it is in the defrost circuit, I can see what I believe is a defrost thermostat (small plastic, square attached to evaporator)as well that could be faulty, but why did it not fire up when the defrost heater was removed???

Your answers on a postcard to:-

Only joking 🙂
