Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

The fault is a flashing and clicking front panel. Capacitors on rear board have been changed last week. Today the compressor won’t work unless the front board is disconnected. Freezer functions perfectly with the front board disconnected (although I can change any settings or use ice or water) temperatures in both fridge and freezer are constant and correct.

With model number 8586 152 15010 – 11 030 019041 do I need both a front and rear board?

Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

Thank you for the advice. The vent was broken – two tiny blobs of superglue and the fridge is now working!

Unfortunately the control panel is still flashing and clicking and it takes a few attempts for the buttons to respond.

Do you do a replacement capacitor pack for the front board like you do for the back board (delivered next day with a helpful sheet – fantastic service)? Or am I going to have to replace the whole board?

Thank you once again

Re: Whirlpool American Fridge Freezer broken down – help!

My model is 8586 152 15010 – 11 030 019041
The front controller flashes and the piezo buzzer clicks (sounds like a relay). Speed is dependant on the number of lights / functions enabled. In standby mode (off) the two dots show and all is calm.

Freezer is freezing fine. Internal lights work. Fans turn off when doors are opened. Fridge doesn’t get cold enough which I assume is because of the tiny amout of air blowing through the vent at the top (when I hold the door sensor down)

I have tried replacing the capacitors on the rear board and one of the electrolytics on the front board to no avail.

What should I try next? Replace the boards or could it be as simple as the motorised vent at the top of the fridge?
