Hotpoint WMA32

[paulwma]

I have a WMA 32 which will not start door seen open all the time. I have metered the wires going the the interlock and i have no neutral feed coming from the main PCB.
I am going to replace the main PCB and interlock.
Is their anything else i should check?
I purchase the PCB new will it need configuration?

If you are working on appliances then you should check all service part of the machine… othwise at your perril you may miss another fault that would blow the board that you have just replaced… But you should know this if you are working on appliances.

Yes the board will need configuring.

Re: Hotpoint WMA32

I had a look at the PCB and have notice that i have a blown component looks like a surface mount transistor on the same track as the neutral feed for the interlock. Do anyone know where i can obtain this component form?
Also are these the correct instructions for the configuration of a new PCB?

Whenever I have had to configure a new board I use the instructions that come with it.

The component that has failed is a surface mount triac and is destroyed by a faulty interlock.I hade tried to repair many these boards with very poor results as most times there are other component that have also been damaged
