Re: ice on back of fridge compartment
kwatt wrote:You’re not gonna like this…
It’s electronically controlled, I assume by thermistors, which are not shown as a spare part. That usually means that they are not available to order and, all too often, buried in the actual liner.
Both the fridge and freezer probes are not listed as a spare.
It is very possible that the electronic card is faulty however and not the probes as they, to be fair, don’t fail that often. But, at about £60-70 plus VAT and shipping, it’s an expensive punt to take. The part number, if you want to try it, is 45X8402 and it is usually a UK stocked item so a few days as a rough lead time an email to Dave on spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will get you an exact price and availability.
HTH
K.Well as I have replaced the PCB card once already I will not be doing so again, think we will persevere with th unit for now and save for a replacement.
Thank’s Kwatt for your help.Re: ice on back of fridge compartment

I’d be looking for air ingress, thermostat failure or possibly rear insulation failure as that’s the three most common causes.

The one that interest’s me from those three is thermostat failure how and where do I check for that.
Re: ice on back of fridge compartment
From a layman’s point the door seal seems ok no rips or kinks and still springy etc.

kwatt wrote:This may sound a silly question but, what does the ice look like?
Is it clear or white powdery, like snow?
Is it a ball of ice or is it even over the back wall?
K.
Thanks for quick reply I will do my best to describe the ice, it starts at the top of the fridge compartment and runs about 3/4s of the way down it is not clear but snow like and builds up to about at least 1/4 inch thick after around 3 weeks, hope this helps.
Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
Ok fridge & freezer seem to be working ok now, just one thing that’s a little worrying we now get a buildup of frost on the back wall of the fridge that did’nt happen before is this a normal thing with this model or has another fault developed.
I know it’s christmas and there maybe no one posting just now but thought I’d give it a shot.Merry christmas & happy new year to all.
Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
UPDATE
Recieved & fitted the new board yesterday afternoon left the unit working overnight (just to be sure) this morning fridge & freezer working as normal 😀
Should have done this sooner instead of depending on nomarks.Well worth the £80 cost of a new PCB.
Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
@ unibabe
Sounds like it maybe,I have located the PCB on my model quite easy to replace so have ordered a new PCB expecting dellivery tomorrow Mon 17 dec
will post here if it solves the problem or not (fingers crossed) 😉Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
OK I have been looking at gaining access to the PCB and it looks to me as though the fridge door has to be removed to get access to it, is that correct or not?
Re: Brandt mod CFB360WU
Already heard from shop, unit not a stock item 3 to 5 days delivery was hoping to have a fridge/freezer for xmas but seems unlikly now.
A little guidence on how to access the PCB would be handy the controls are at the top of the fridge when you open the door (do’nt want to damage anything by forcing)helo_75 wrote:why do u think uve got a pcb problem?
tell us wot the problem is, and we’ll probably be able to advise better
The repairer that came diagnosed a new control module that was 10 days ago and we are still waiting.
The fridge light comes on but no motor noise at all now, it was possible two weeks ago to turn the unit off then on again to get the motor running but that does not work now.
