I need help identifying a component. It’s either a resistor or a capacitor that I think has failed. When I put a meter across the said component the light comes on momentarily. Can I submit a picture of same? Update (10/29/2022)
. I’m not even sure if this is working. Can these files be clicked on for the images? The fridge model is AEG Santo k8 12 00 1. First pic show either a capacitor or a resistor in a green colour sitting diagonally. I’ve put a meter across it and the bulb comes on momentarily then fades out. The rating underneath the component reads 27r 5% 3w. Update (11/07/2022)
hopefully this works again. This is the update picture. Update (11/07/2022)
and again, that last update pic is blurred.
Hi @peterperfect A 27r resistor = 27 Ohms See the notation for the resistor on p.2 of this resistor chart To check its value, disconnect the power and then unsolder one leg of the resistor from the board and then measure its resistance using an Ohmmeter. If you try to measure it in situ i.e. still connected, you may get an incorrect reading due to possible parallel circuit paths around the resistor.
@peterperfect you are looking for the schematic for ERF2000 to trace any of the components. Here is the part of the service manual that deals with this board and its functions. Electrolux/AEG seems to be a bit paranoid with their schematics as well ;-) ERF2000 Connector J1 pin number 6 and 7 should be the one for the light.Appears there is a magnetic switch between the power board and the light. Check your door switch.
I’d take the board out and check the solder joints on that component haven’t dried out and cracked. If they look dodgy reflow it with a soldering iron and try it again.
