Re: neff single oven
Cheers for the help chaps, and anyone needs parts for this model i have a spare oven that i could take some bits off,except for bulbs 🙂

Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!
Just some info for fellow sufferers of the whirlpool fridge freezer!
Mine is now on its 3rd front control panel. First was fitted about 5 years ago. Second about 18 months ago – that one is from “ITW ISPRACONTROLS” with a manufacturer date of 04/09. That failed last week (the familiar clicking, flashing lights) and I’ve replaced it with yet another.
We’re hoping it carries on working until after Christmas and then the whole thing is off to a skip and will be replaced by something more reliable! (I’ll strip the old one for bits in case they might help other sufferers).
Now I know why the previous owners left it in the house when they moved!
If you do decide to scrap it and know the parts that control the auto defrost i would appreciate the bits as i changed all the capacitors as others have done and mine is working fine (for now) except it wont auto defrost and i have to do it manually.
Cheers,

My FF is a Whirlpool FRSS 36AF20/2 model No. 858619015012.
1)The ice maker does not recieve any water to make ice.
2)I have to carry out a manual defrost because I get a gradual increase in temp within the FRIDGE compartment, while at the same time I get a build up of frost/ice on the back wall of the FREEZER compartment.Following the manual defrost and me mopping out the plastic tray underneath the unit, the temps are reset and the fridge and freezer runs ok for about 3 weeks – then the whole process starts again.
I have checked that the fan above the condenser is operating ok.
I have removed, checked and refitted the defrost heater eliment which is ok.
I previously had a new ‘back control board fitted in in Sept 09 by Whirlpool – just before they wrote off my fridge freezer and canceled my cover policy with D&G.I am not an engineer of these appliances but hope to sort it out with a bit of help.
I am now looking at supecting the ‘Auto Defrost System’ and possibly the ‘Motorised Baffle’/Air Diffuser’.
My probem is that I don’t know how to eliminate one or the other.In the back of the freezer compartment behind the back plate I can see that the heater eliment shaped around the condenser, plugs into a small black box above the fan – is that a thermostat or type of control unit that operates the defrost eliment, should look at changing this?? – what is it called as I can’t find it in any parts list on websites as they also don’t show a picture of it.
I would like to solve the auto defrost problem first and get the appliance keeping food chilled/frozen. The I propose to try and tackle the ice maker problem later.
Hi David
I have had similar problems as you, firstly i had the chattering as most on here had and i replaced the parts using the kit from this forum now now more noise , but i still had a problem of no water as the pipe had frozen behind the ice box somewhere. To remedy this i turned off the ice maker and unplugged the hose pipe at the bottom of the freezer door this let the ice melt then i joined a new piece of white pipe same bore size to the old pipe and pulled it up into place joined back up and all is working fine now.
But my FF is now freezing up at the back of the freezer so mine cant be auto defrosting and i would like to know the parts to change.
DarrenRe: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!
No panic it was frozen up in the freezer so gave it a defrost and all temps are back at normal and all seems fine. Just in case it is the heater playing up could someone point me in the direction to where it is situated if it ever needs replacing.
Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!
Many thanks to all that have posted on here and the kit to fix the clicking etc has sorted my fridge freezer so cheers for that too.
But now my new problem has started after a few months of having the fridge work as it should the temp on the freezer is flashing and although the fridge says 2 degrees it is definately warmer especially noticed on my beers (so want that sorted for the summer) also it sounds noisier than before with a sort of whirring/humming sound, the fan is still working and the freezer still makes ice but with the wife being pregnant i dont want the food going off and making her ill.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks, DarrenRe: Accessing Front Panel PCB?
Parko wrote:Hi,
I really have read through the thread, but cannot find advice on gaining access to the front panel pcb.
There are no srews behind the drip tray in the front door as one person suggests, nor anything that resembles access without the fear of snapping the plastic.
All advice greatfully rec’d
IanPS.. tried to add picture !! But it’s a Whirlpool S20B TSB21_A/G 8586-150-15002 (11-0408-025820)
The 2 screws on mine are at the bottom of the drip tray, take the tray out and they should be easily visable.
I still do not know how to get the rest of the facia off though to see the water pipe behind, has anyone had to remove the whole facia and how did you get it off as the expandidng foam seems to be sticking to this panel ? is it easier to remove the whole cover from the inside ???Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

Most likely the rear module.
johnI pushed the frozen water out of the other end of the pipe where it connects at the bottom of the door so i know it was free of ice but it just freezes back up.
I presume cold is getting to the pipe somewhere behind the front panel but without taking the the front off i cant see where the failure in insulation is.
After seeing the posts on part numbers to cure the clicking has there been a final list of part numbers where the new parts will go staight in as i see the ones from RS are too big and the ones from Farnells might be wrong ??Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!
After a bit of searching i found this site so here is my first post.I have been reading this post on the whirlpool american f/f as i have the same problems as most on here but not only does mine have the knocking noise but also the water pipe that feeds the drinking water has frozen.
I have inserted a smaller tube into the pipe and it is blocked behind the front console, i have removed the front facia then tried to remove the front panel but it feels glued by the foam sticking to it and dont want to break it by forcing it off.
Has anyone else had this problem and know of a cure ??
I will look back over this long post and try and find the bits need to stop the knocking as i dont want to come one day to a puddle on the floor where it has packed up.
The model number is S20DRSB33
