BEKO WDR7543121W Sudden No Power

[Condor507]

Hi all. great info on here. i have the same issue with the same model machine. just been quoted £146 to replace ‘the module’ , but no idea if that is actually this D7 thing. can anyone tell me EXACTLY what is involved in removing the board, testing the D& , removing/replacing the D& etc. I am not an electrician, i don’t have any of those kind of tools. I would guess you can snip the diode legs and solder a new one to those legs ? any help appreciated.

the board is mounted inside the machine i think at the bottom in a plastic case

you could always see if one of the sites proffessional members live close and knows how to fix this fault

Thanks Dave, i tried the map but it won’t zoom in enough to show where the engineers are. it just tells me there are 23 in Stockport 🙁

As for accessing the D7 diode . . do i need to get the machine in its back, side ? how do i get to it ?

I just drove to RS Components to buy a D7 diode only to find them closed. i must be the only person in the UK who didn’t know today is a Bank Holiday :/

sort of thing i woul do

lol

access is from the back as far as i know

fill in your post code and the machine to get a list of repairers. The map only goes so big

i got 9 when i filled in a random post code with the top 3 recommended

one of them is in stockport on Buxton road, have not checked them all

ok, i got it out. now i need to test the D7 Diode to make sure that is the fualt. how do i do that? what do i need ?

multi meter on diode test mode

ok, i dont have one of those. i can take the board to work tomorrow and ask an electrician to take a look, if it is the diode could it be replaced with any diode of the same value, i.e. 100v 2A , or does it have to be a STPS2H100 ?

[electrofix]

it has to be a high frequency doide so must be
Schottky type

ok thanks Dave , i’ll let you know how i get on. 🙂

a big thank you to electrofix , got it done today, working like it should (Y)

Hi, new to the forum but my Daughter has something similar with her Beko washer/dryer (WDA914401W) suddenly stopped working for no reason, no indicator lights on but door lock keps clicking. All fuses OK but no lights on front panel. Just need to ask where the main board is located on this machine and is the lock clicking a symptom of this fault or is it something else?
Cheers
Steve

as far as i know the lock clicking would mean there is power on the board so your may be a board failure

board looks like its rear right bottom

Thanks Dave, Could thie board failure be the diode failure discussed in this thread? If it is are all the D7 diodes the same or do I have to remove the board first and check the diode type?

[electrofix]

as far as i know with a d7 failure its totally dead but you have a clicking lock

remove board and check for damage, slugs are not uncommon
