Re: Whirlpool side by side, capacitors changed, not working
I had put it the wrong way first time, it’s the right way now, I saw the markings, I should have paid attention the first time ay?
Well, it ran for about another hour or so, then off again. Now it flashes up CF which I think is communication failure.
Would it be easier to just get a new board? or would a replacement board have the cheap capacitors on it?
Or is there something else that could be causing the problem?
Cheers,
Re: Whirlpool side by side, capacitors changed, not working
OK I just took the board out again, some of my soldering didn’t look too clever so I redid them, still didn’t work. It’s possible I put the small round capacitor, that has a polarity in the wrong way round. I put it the other way, it started working! for about an hour, then the alarm started again.
After some turning off and on again, it started again. I’ve put a temp probe in so I don’t have to open the door to check it. It’s running again, not sure if it’ll stay running but at least the compressor comes on now.
Does anyone know which way round the small capacitor is supposed to go? I forgot after I took the old one off!
Cheers.
edit: I forgot to add It’s model number is FRWW2VAF20/0
there were two other numbers below that 8586 400 15001 and 11 0705 019712 and it’s three years old.
