Hi,
the machine has not been used for about 4 months, and today stopped after a few minutes. The machine was unresponsive, displaying a “U”. The PCB was fried, which I replaced, after checking the brushes on the motor.
The controller is working as expected, but drum won’t spin when it should (can hear a relay engage & disengage) and the display still shows a “U”.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Wired up the motor in series on the bench with a battery, and it rotated OK.
Checked the PCB and one of the tracks to the 8 way connector had vapourised.
When I reassembled the motor after cleaning & checking the brushes, I didn’t notice that the stator can be connected 2 ways – I’m guessing that I did it the wrong way which caused the track to blow.
Anyway PCB patched up and everything seems to be working again.
Thanks very much for your help.
