Re: Whirpool american fridge freezer given up.
Hi Riess, I had exactly the same problems and bought a repair kit. It also solved all the problems except the compressor would not work. Advice on here suggested a failed compressor but I had doubts. Both fans were running fine. My appliance is a s20brsb21, I believe it functions similarly yours. Check there is power to the compressor, mine wasn’t getting 240v from the PCB to switch it on, another faulty component on the PCB. I’m in the process of working it out at the moment and will post on here, it may save your fridge and the cost of a compressor change.
Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!
Hi Bryan, just proved compressor, it’s working fine. L1 is mains in, L2 is 240v from PCB to compressor.
Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!
Bryan, thanks for that, I was thinking the compressor relay on the PCB. Do you know what voltage should be on the L2 terminal on the compressor?
Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!
Hi all, hope someone can help. I have had the usual problems associated with the s20brsb21 over the years and paid £100s having it fixed. This time I purchased a PCB repair kit (capacitors). The fridge has been spitting water from the dispenser, rear PCB clicking, freezer compartment icing up etc. Before I got the chance to change the caps, the freezer stopped working, defrosted and the usual alarm sounded. I changed over all the caps in the kit and refitted the board but the compressor isn’t working. It would appear the compressor stopped working before I changed the caps and suspect another part has failed? Both the internal and bottom fans are running. I have 240v to the compressor on L1 but nothing on L2. Any help gratefully received.
