Whirlpool SMEG side by side refrigerator repair fridge freezer repairs World Wide Distribution

[@Jeremushka]

I've got the same issue recently. it is linked to high frequency 220V filtering. This is the role of the 3 capacitors of 0.68uF /250Vconnected in parallel. I have removed them and i soldered one capacitor type MKP in parallel of 2.2uF 250V. As my fridge was off for 72 hours when i switched on it again, it had the scond issue described in the video with the alarm triggered. However, in my case it is a normal behavior. It needs several hours to recover temperature of the freezer of -17 degrees. After, 5 hours running, everythingis back to normal.

[@alexruwhiu1710]

My Smeg sr610 control panel doesnt work sometimes so i have to turn the fridge off for at least a minute and open both fridge and freezer doors while holding down the lock button and turn on the power. This gets me into a mode where different temps are displayed and i urn it off at the one i want. I turn the fridge back on again and alter the temp settings to what i want and its all good.

[@mikeycbd]

@Cosmeticsurgery1 The rear module is at the back of the whole unit, behind the lower metal panel in a plastic box screwed to the right wall when looking from the rear.

[@jasa198]

Great video . I have Admiral side by side . Evrything works apart from the drinks dispenser section . The digital temperature part is completely dead. Would it be the front or the back board in my case ? Please advise if you can . Thank you .

[@64jcl]

We have a similar style fridge that we bought from IKEA, but I know is actually just a rebranded Whirlpool fridge. Ours have the flashing display and clicking just like yours. It feels to me like a power issue which could perhaps be caused by leaky capacitors?

[@mikeycbd]

@Mimimounir The most common cause of the fridge warming followed later by the freezer and alarm is - a defrost fault. If there is visible ice or frost on the freezer walls, you have a defrost fault. The only way to confirm whether the system is low on gas is to remove the rear panels from inside the freezer. If it is full and blocked with ice, you have a defrost fault. If there is no ice and the compressor IS running, it's low on gas (rare) My kit is the cheapest way, john

[@amjedmahmood8324]

When I remove the cover it's full of ice so is it defrost problem how can we fix it plz

[@carl840]

I had the second fault which pointed to the rear board. I have replaced this but still get the same issue on the panel. The fridge and freezer do not seem to be getting cold. Any ideas?

[@saab93contdi]

Hi... The display was flickering like the one in the vid but has now gone blank... When we turn on the power back to the freezer there's a buzzing/ clicking which seems to be from the rear of the freezer..I didn't want to get a replacement PCB and find the motor or relay needs replacing ....any idea what the problem mite be... The fault was caused by a spike in the supply as the grid switch supplying power was arcing ... Many thanks Andy

[@saab93contdi]

Will that PCB rectify the clicking I'm describing near to what I'm thinking is the area of the motor / compressor.. And thanks for replying..

[@jursoft77]

i have same fridge with ,with front moduale pcb problem . can i get this fixed anywhere ,or do i need to buy a new one ? or would it only be realey omron need replaced

[@sakabeer]

Hi Mikey, Thanks for this video. Sorry I am querying ages after you have posted this useful video. I have exactly the same problem. Can you please let me know how I can remove the front panel and replace the module that you showed & the module part number I would need to buy please. Would be grateful for a reply.

[@mikeycbd]

I believe John Broderick's name is somewhere on the video or the text and you can write to him directly.

[@zulfiqarahmed3714]

My fridge also this type. led light very low all blinking some second and of the fridge. During this compressor on.after some second all of the fridge

[@darrenliggett7222]

Hey Mikey, quick question, would the clicking result in the freezer being cold but the fridge staying warm. I removed the air diffuser completely to see if the fridge would cool but it's still warm so am thinking the fan is circulating the cold air from freezer to fridge. Before I go and start replaces parts that may or may not need replaced to find the fault have you any ideas of pointers you could give me? thanks

[@mikeycbd]

Hi, can you copy and paste the message to [e-mail] - I thought his email was in the video but not seen it for a while. Thanks

[@lmclough]

Hi Mikeycbd, I need a front and back module, I believe? the front unit is off altogether and hasn't worked for months. The fridge and freezer are both fine and working. just the water, ice maker and general board itself doesn't work, no lights and appears to be off, can you let me know if you sell both the front and back modules please? and what they cost. Many thanks, PS the video was most helpful.

[@mikeycbd]

There is a link to the ebay site in the "about" show more.

[@nikketwest7166]

[@littlealfrew]

Hi, i have the same problem with front panel. Have you still got replacement parts? Thanks in advance.

[@Sephiroth-rz7ez]

Hallo, I need your help! I come from Germany and hope you will understand my not so perfekt english. The second control should be on the rear side but i didn't find any way to reach it. The first panel is no problem to demontate but the rest is fixed with glue i Think and so i didn't came on the rear-side where the second controlunit should be. Is there any trick how to reach it? Thank you very much for help!!!

[@mikeycbd]

[@alexandrufoszto2095]

Hi , i have the second problem but i changed the main board and its the same . Can be another problem ?

[@Mimimounir]

I have seen your "Whirlpool Fridge Freezer Repair kit (side by side)" on ebay I have got a whirlpool (S20B RSB21-A G) . I got this side by side refrig. in May 2006. The problem is my Refrig. does not cool anymore and the alarm goes off as on your video. (mind you maybe the gas is low) but I wanna know whether your Kit works on my Model? I think I should give it a try. What do u think?

[@mizzmadness1]

Hi, I know this video is a few years old but was wondering if you could help me out. Do have or do you kbow where I can buy a front panel, same as the one in the video?

[@mikeycbd]

have sent on your comment to John who made this video. he still sorts them out I believe.

[@geosop]

sra20x1 first time flash display and not cooling and change rear board , cooling ok but ice making dont work. after change the front board but ice making dont work. any ideas ?

[@sohailafzal440]

Hi dear I have Smeg SRA20X1 fridge American style, with the same panel shown in your video. The display lights starts blinking and display showing the freezer temp , after 1 minute of turning on the refrigerator gives a code C F what does that mean please tell me?

[@mikeycbd]

+Sohail Afzal It means communication fault Either the front board is damaged or the rear is faulty

[@nevillehunt4414]

I have the second problem - the two hyphens and flashing red light indicating the need for a new back circuit board. How do you access this please - do you need to get behind the appliance itself or can it be done inside the unit? And where would I buy the part please? Also, where is the water filter please - I inherited the machine with the house but without the instruction manual, so I don't even know the model number but it's all black, looks like the one in your video and about 8 years old. Thanks. Neville Hunt

[@mikeycbd]

John said Yes behind metal panel in plastic box

[@nevillehunt4414]

mikeycbd Thanks John (and Mikey) but still not clear, can I access it from inside the freezer or do I have to pull whole machine out of its recess to get behind the whiole appliance? Thanks. Neville

[@mikeycbd]

The rear board is at the rear, not inside.

[@nevillehunt4414]

mikeycbd Thanks very much; it's appreciated.

[@garyfeeney7811]

Daniela Pita - Either he has touched and / removed front board with power on and blown it up or, the rear board is dead

[@gorchort6630]

I remove front board and connect with power on. And they maybe is dead. Before remove is flashing like in first problem. But now no light is come I hear sound like compressor and blower is on and maybe thermostat. Light inside is work. Can help??

[@UmbrielliaMedia]

Hey mate, i had the problem of everything flashing and for a while the ice machine would work if you pressed the button in time with the flash but then i accidentally pressed the standby button and now there are two dots (the decimal points) that continually flash and the fridge won't come of standby for more than a second as if i press the standby button in sync with the flashing sometimes it comes of standby and the temperatures come back up but only for a flash & then if defaults back. Help!

[@carl840]

just another thing on my first fault. the panel would stay on for about an hour before the fault occurring. everything seemed to point to the rear board. is there anything I need to do once replacing the rear board? something I have missed? .

[@mikeycbd]

+carl840 i've sent on your messages to John (email address in additional info)

[@carl840]

+mikeycbd much appreciated 😆👍

[@JohnB-2021]

+carl840 If the front panel is flashing on and off accompanied with a ticking sound, you need to replace the front board. If you fridge freezer is not getting cold with a new board fitted, it may be low on gas. Time to get rid of the fridge freezer or spend money having it gassed up.

[@carl840]

+John B the console will come on flashing with the 2 dashes as above in the second fault. after replacing the rear board I am still getting the same error. if i turn on / off a few times it comes on as normal but after an hour or so the error comes back on again.. during this hour the freezer wasnt getting cold.

[@JohnB-2021]

+carl840 Well like I said above, maybe it's low on gas. Who did you buy the board from?
