Re: Neff S54M45x5GB/01 dishwasher not filling correctly

Thanks Martin, I whipped off the side panel and took off what I believe is called an Aquastop pressure chamber. The pressure chamber was gunged up but so too was the pipe between the pressure chamber and the pump. I’ve cleaned them both and initial tests showed it’s fixed. Woo Hoo.

Thanks

Re: whirlpool S20D RSS33 A/G freezer not working!

I’ve had the same problem with the freezer alarm. I found the fix in the thread that you have already posted on.

I know it will take time to read this thread but all the answers are there. When you read it it will often refer to the clicking of relays and ice maker issues but the same ‘fix’ sorted out my freezer alarm as well.

If you are competent you can replace the capacitors on the printed circuit boards (PCB’s) for about £20. That’s what fixed mine. However, if you are in any doubt what so ever how to do this then pay for a qualified person to change the PCB’s. It may cost over £300 to do this but it is better to pay with pound notes than pay with your life!

Re: Fridge icing up on Whirlpool side by side

Took the plunge and bought a new diffuser. This has now fixed it. 😀

Re: Fridge icing up on Whirlpool side by side

I don’t own a thermometer but placing it in a cup of like warm water gave around 5 to 6 (KΩ) and packing a couple of freezer blocks around it increased this so it appears to be ok. I realise this isn’t very a accurate way of checking.

I might be able to get the diffuser tested. I post back my findings.

Re: Fridge icing up on Whirlpool side by side

Firstly an update that I should have posted earlier.

The diffuser closed overnight following my original posting and appeared to be modulating to maintain a reasonable temperature. (The fridge is set to 6 degrees)

However, since then It’s iced up again. There are three wires to the diffuser, orange, purple and brown. I suspect it uses 240 volt ac with one wire as a common neutral, one is ‘open’ and one is ‘close’ is this correct?

I suspect the diffuser is ok but the fridge sensor is faulty.

I’ve had a look and I can’t work out how to measure resistance of the fridge sensor.

At the back of the fridge, behind one of the shelves is a plastic grille with a cylindrical sensor which I believe is the sensor I need to measure the resistance of, however the wiring disappears behind the fridge lining so I can’t access any terminals to measure the resistance. I’ve Pulled the fridge out into the middle of my kitchen and cannot find the end of the lead from the sensor.

I suspect the sensor wiring goes to the rear PCB. If this is correct how do I identify the correct wires to measure the resistance of.

If it prove that the fridge sensor is faulty, how difficult is it to actually change?

I haven’t measured the room ambient temperature but the fridge is situated in the kitchen, not in a garage or other unheated room.

I can measure resistance of the fridge sensor if I can find the terminals. I’ll try and do this either tonight or tomorrow but if you can give me a clue where to find them I’d be grateful.

I’ll post back with either the resistance or a further request for help.

Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

Try Farnells

It’s a bit too late to look up part number for you but I’m looking to change the caps on the front board of my Whirlpool. Unlike the rear board the components on the front board are height restricted to about 10mm. If you have the same issues on your board you meed to be looking for axial film capacitors. For the rear board the radial caps posted above will be ok. I haven’t found any 250 or 275volt axial caps of the correct value but i believe 400 volt cap will be ok.

Hope this helps
