Re: Top arm not turning – Candy CD622

Thanks for the reply. I’ll have a look at replacing these parts. I don’t think they are that expensive.

Thanks again.

Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

I allowed the fridge freezer to completely defrost and then started it up again. It went very well – for a day. Even the little temperature thing on the fridge wall went green and showed “ok”, which it hadn’t done for quite some time. But now the temperature is rising again to what it was before.

It seems a bit weird it can get down to the correct temperature for a while and then go wrong again.

I have read this entire thread twice (Honestly). I noticed one of the posts referred to the back pcb on later models having a pink label. The one I have just taken out had a pink label. This was one that was replaced under warranty. The one I have just bought and put in has a white label. I think the white label one is probably the right one for my fridge, so this would mean the Whirlpool engineer has put the wrong one in when he repaired it under warranty? Can anyone confirm that from my model number in my previous post?

Anyway, I think I will get a front board and try it ….. unless somebody has any other idea? Please??

Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

I have a Whirlpool side by side S20BRBB20 8586 152 15001 11 0406 012919, bought in February 2004. The back pcb was replaced during the warranty period.

The fridge temperature has been struggling to stay around 10 c and I have checked the freezer temperature which is reading -10 c, so they are both too warm. (hopefully the thermometer I am using is accurate).

I have noticed a little ice on the slider vent for the meat drawer and this drawer is nowhere near as cold as it once was. I was also getting water thumping and flickering lights on the front dispenser.

I have changed the back pcb again and it has cured the water thumping, but nothing else. I don’t mind buying a front board if anyone thinks it will cure the other problems.

The fan at the back of the freezer appears to be working – it only stops when a door is opened, but starts as soon as the door is closed. There is no build of ice on the coils at the back of the freezer, so I think the defrost process is ok.

I can feel some cold air coming through the air diffuser at the top left of the fridge, but I’m not sure if it should be colder or stronger than it is. Can anyone help me? Or do I just need to go through a process of elimination by replacing perhaps the air diffuser, maybe the freezer sensor? Sorry to be so long winded. I am going to turn the whole thing off for a couple of days and restart it to see if there is any difference.

Thanks for reading.
