Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

I have a FF model number S20B RWW20-A/G that was left behind in a house we have just moved into, it did the classic symptoms of capacitor failure, so I replaced all caps on the rear PCB to no avail, I then replaced all the caps on the front PCB & all was now sorted, no flashing lights or ticking relays, and the FF was working fine for 2 days. However now the FF seems to have given up, there is no flashing etc, but the FF just wont cool either compartment at all, there is a flow of air into both sides via the vents at the top but it is at room temperature, it is making a gentle humming all the time as it was when it was working.

Any ideas before I call it a day & get a new one?

Many thanks Andy

Just a quick update.. I replaced the red compressor relay on the rear circuit board and fridge freezer is now running perfectly, I used Farnell part number:_
1629045 1 RT314024 RELAY, PCB, SPCO, 24VDC RT314024

Hi All,

I have a FF model number S20B RWW20-A/G that was left behind in a house we have just moved into, it did the classic symptoms of capacitor failure, so I replaced all caps on the rear PCB to no avail, I then replaced all the caps on the front PCB & all was now sorted, no flashing lights or ticking relays, and the FF was woking fine for 2 days. However now the FF seems to have given up, there is no flashing etc, but the FF just wont cool either compartment at all, there is aflow of air into both sides via the vents at the top but it is at room temperature, it is making a gentle humming all the time as it was when it was working.

Any ideas before I call it a day & get a new one?
