Hi Rikmak>
Basically mine had most of the faults mentioned in previous posts.ie:chattering,ice-maker not functioning,water spluttering,and front LEDs flashing.With John’s guidance I changed C1, C5, C6, C7 & C8 caps on the back board and replaced C1, C2, C14 & C15 caps on the front board with 2 large 1uf caps stuck onto the inside cover and attached with fly leads.
I hadn’t used a soldering iron for almost 20 years but found the back board pretty easy to tackle-But I was at a complete loss as to go about fixing the front board until John kindly stepped in and talked me through it in great detail-After that I had the confidence to repair the front board in about 30 minutes.

Hi all,
I’ve just registered on the forum to add my gratitude and thanks to broddersbaldrick.
With John’s expert guidance I’ve managed to successfully replace the caps on both the back board and front board of my whirlpool S20B RSB21 American fridge freezer and it is now fully functioning again.
Heartfelt thanks for all your effort, and kindness …
Joe.
