Many thanks Dave, let’s see where this gets us. 🙂

Hi Dave,

It’s been a while but I’ve come back to trying to get this fridge/freezer running again. I’ve ordered a new 4uF start capacitor as the installed one measures a bit low (it’s probably fine). After installing it I’ll try running the f/f. In an earlier post you posted a part image of a schematic diagram which looked like it aligned with this machine and the control board. Could you provided me with the whole diagram please ? Also could you provide some pointers on diagnostics perhaps around the control board inputs and outputs ? Is there a way of safely forcing a compressor start by suitable connection or loading of the control board inputs ?

Thanks,

I’m not ruling it out completely but I may be back for some more suggestions 🙂

Hello Dave, I’ve replaced the 1uF capacitor on the control board but have measured the old one and it seems to be ok. I’ll try the updated board in the fridge freezer but I’m less confident is now that this is the solution ?

Thanks, I’ll let you know if it does the trick, fingers crossed 🙂

Hi Dave, I’ve purchased these https://uk.farnell.com/kemet/r46kr410000m1k/cap-1-f-10-pp-radial/dp/2429369 instead as they were the right height (20mm) and in stock.
Thanks,

OK yes, I’ve found these well https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114580210611?hash=item1aad8343b3:g:g-0AAOSwMSxf3GZR&amdata=enc{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}3AAQAHAAAA4Afl9tPqtzEXEq1L6yGAm{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2FXH2LE8bpMnCKU41yM66ZDq7nlEzCcDSBDZnGpCBSM6pAKoAfKMHzpNGHFH0H7MMm8BfF5EtNtNb7RIVY4XGUGcg{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2FhsLxHTfgEblRPyEWtAyZYcUD0w7c0WKJhy2VVMDgTd2q7l5NF89A41wdhE1gwUpbCLDcCk{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2FNTVn{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2B36YmQVvKSubbjCCF2Pukz{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2BGhbKzjPdmJqRF6N8UEg8fHNW6LPKtCZXe14pytspGPtTZNy59R{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}2BANvwMh1vCvzbkAguKpzeYk3eMhQkk8saP8z3hei83{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}7Ctkp{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}3ABFBM0Juj47th

I’ll have a look at those you sent the like for, they may be the best bet.
Thanks

Do you think these would do the job ? https://uk.farnell.com/illinois-capacitor/105mkp275k/cap-1-f-10-pp/dp/2841798

[Hardy_CR]

OK thanks Dave I’ll check it.

Hello Dave,

I’ve added a side view image of this component to the album linked above, showing the label, it looks to be more than just a simple capacitor. The fridge freezer is a few years old now but hasn’t seen much use, so I’m suprised that this component would be effectively worn out. So where do I get one of these capacitors/power conditioning blocks or do I have to get a new board ?

Thanks,

Hardy

Hopefully this will work.

Thanks guys, the model number is “FFAA 52 K.1” and yes the fridge/freezer is black. I can’t upload any pics as I get this message “Upload failed due to your usergroup’s upload quota. This file will require 92.7 KB but you only have 19.5 KB of 19.5 KB remaining.”

That cap location looks good based on other generic diagrams I have found through Google.

I can get pics of the control panel for you (subject to being able to upload them). It’s mounted in the plastic control panel, top front of the fridge/freezer. I couldn’t work out how to unclip it without damaging the plastic panel, doesn’t look like it was ever intended to be removed. Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Hardy
