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.

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.

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?
@mikeycbd13 жыл бұрын
@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

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

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
