Re: Schrieber APM6325 stopped working

Bit discourteous of me not to reply more promptly – new thermostat successfully installed and fridge is up and running again. Thanks very much for your assistance.

Re: Schrieber APM6325 stopped working

Can anyone help here? How much of the fridge will I need to dismantle in order to drag it forward? Is detaching the door a necessary first step?

Thanks

Thanks Bob

Next question: how do I detach the fridge from its housing unit in order to pull it forward out of the unit? The easy ones are the two vertical screws through a metal plate on top of the fridge, which attach the front of the fridge to the worktop above it, but surely there are other fixings, e.g. at the base of the fridge? Or does it simply rely on its weight (and the fact that it’s pretty well wedged into the housing) to secure/stabilise itself?

Cheers

Re: Whirlpool ADG957 fault

So is it possible that the PCB can take a certain period of time to detect a faulty component? After all, on my machine the drain pump churns away attempting to drain (non-existent) water for several minutes before it’s knocked on the head.

Sorry to bang on about this, I’m just trying to weigh up the possibilities – if there’s a good chance that it’s not the NTC I’d like to book an engineer as backup. Plus I’m pig sick of doing the washing up.

Re: Whirlpool ADG957 fault

OK – couple of quick questions. As I understand it, the NTC is a temperature-controlled device. But the only temperature in the machine is the ambient air temperature, because no water is getting into it to affect the NTC.
Is this irrelevant, i.e. basically once the NTC is knackered the machine’s knackered?
Why would a faulty NTC cause the machine to attempt to drain water that isn’t there?

Re: Whirlpool ADG957 fault

Thanks for the responses. I’ve ordered a new NTC – the only question now is whether I’m up to fitting it myself.

A search of the forum has come up with plenty of advice about NTCs, but no specific guidance for replacement – any chance someone could explain how the thing is secured? I can see both ends of the thing (i.e. the single plastic domed ‘prong’ pointing up inside the tub and the twin plastic ‘wings’ pointing down underneath the unit). Does it twist/screw out downwards or is there a trick to it?

Apologies for the entirely non-standard terminology.
