Hmmm, the beastie has been good for the last 4 years.
On Saturday it stopped mid cycle, then restarted a few seconds later with a message something like “resuming from power cut”. There was no power cut at the time.
Today, when I turned it on, the LCD display and the “How Dirty”/”Fabric Care” LEDs are flickering. I’ve pulled the plug out of the wall, held the pins on my hand for 30 seconds to remove any residual charge and plugged it back in. It appears to be working now.
My guess is that the power supply on the control board is on the way out.
The diagmostics show error 49 at 885 cycles ago.
Does anybody have any hints on what might be goimg on ?
Thx
David
Fixed: F&P IW711 Display Flickering
I pulled the controller module out of the machine last Tuesday and extracted the board. The two large electrolytic caps in the power supply looked a bit dodgy (slight bulge in the top) so I have replaced them. The originals were 270uF rated at 250V and 85 degrees. I have replaced them with low ESR 270uF 400V which are physically a bit larger but fit into the module case OK – matching parts were not available.
The parts are PANASONIC – EETUQ2G271CA – CAPACITOR, 270UF, 400V which are Farnell/element14 part # 1198679
And now everyone is smiling again as the machine works perfectly 😀
