Ozzy1 – thanks I had the same issue and used the solder on front to no avail. I bought a rear board and plugged it in tonight but it made no difference. I am seeing if I can exchange it for a front board.

Tried the cap across the large one on the back board – no joy. Looks like whirlpool have won.

thanks for the help

Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

I posted back in April about my whirlpool flashing, clicking and spluttering. Over the past week I have taken both front and back boards out a replaced caps but nothing has changed.

On the rear: I replaced three out of the 4 white C5, 6 and 7 (.22uf caps).
On the front: I replaced C3.

Not sure where to go from here other than board replacement and whirlpool resentment. Any guidance would be very welcome.

My model is S20B RSB21 and service codes: 8586 151 15001 and 110331 025 202

Interested in ozzy1s recommendation “It looks like a design error that can be fixed by putting an extra .22uf or.47uf capacitor across this large capacitor. This increases the stabilty of the whole circuit and in my case fixed the clicking noises and the stuttering of the water dispenser and ice maker.” but I am not sure which capacitor he is refering to or how to put an additional cap across it.

Hi there

Read this with interest hoping I might save myself a small fortune and avoid lining whirlpools vegetable compartment with my cabbage.

I have the clicking constantly, in my sleep and at work – gets quicker when you dispense water, which comes out in spurts.

My model is S20B RSB21 and service codes: 8586 151 15001 and 110331 025 202 nearly the same a previous post (selecta11)

Can any wise man tell me if I need one board / two boards / a big capacitor / a big stick with “whirlpool” written on it / or a frontal lobotomy

I think my washing machine has just exploded.
