AEG santo 3774-6KA
PNC Nr 927966320
When I open door, lights on top flash on & off, about once a second, interior light flashes at same frequesncy, noise of relay going on and off at same frequency.
This has been going on for some months. Fridge cools fine
What do I need to do?
Thanks

I have an AEG super santo fridge that began to flash LED lights but was cooling nevertheless. Changed both the X2 capacitors mentioned in that link above and some other Swedish site but the symtoms won't go away. What next?
I had the same problem, found pictorial fix at

which unfortunately routes you to a Finish supplier, however the sent me this link to a UK supplier

and now my fridge is working fine again!
Different model but same problem (looked at several forums and this seems common across many AEG fridges). The solution i found is to replace the x2 poly capacitor (1 µF) on the main circuit board. A different forum pointed to this being responsible for several gremlins/problems with AEG fridges including the relay clicking on and off and the light party you get inside. Appalling that Electralux want to sell you a £120+ vat for a full pcb when this is the only part that seems to go. The replacement x2 cap cost me 68p from a trade electronics shop, but if you're in the UK, the common retail shop Maplin also have them for about £3. The solder job takes 5 minutes. Hope this helps someone :-)
