Great Machine for 6 years. Then suddenly all lights go out and stops mid wash. Found 3 tracks on PCB controller board blown. Any ideas what caused this? I’d change the board but don’t want same to happen again if fault is elswhere?
Re: Bosch WFL2860
Most likely culprits are an earthing element or the motor letting go…you need to check for insulation failure around the machine and give the drum a spin by hand to listen to the motor 😉

Hi Clive,
I traced the blown pcb track to the heater sensor in the heater element unit and found that lime scale from a previously leaking door seal had dripped water into the plug. All now cleaned and the pcb track repaired with 5 amp fuse wire as a precaution. Motor brushes replaced – they had a few months left in them. Also refitted the Triac as others had said this was probably OK if pcb track to it was not blown – as was the case.
All put back and now seems to be working. So far it has run 4 complete wash cycles at 30 and 60 degrees – heater appears to be OK to.
Thanks for your encouragement.
Regards,
Laurie 😀
