Indesit WIXE 12 All display & control lights flashing

[ken_mayall]

Hello, machine and fault as above which is normally solved by replacing the capacitor on main control board (C17/10v/680uf). Have now replaced this cap twice, machine runs for a while and then pops cap again. This time new cap has done 3 spin cycles but is now starting to dome on top. The other 2 caps around it look fine. Any ideas or advice on why this capacitor keeps popping ?

are you putting it in the right way round. if you get it wrong it will fail very quickly

check one of the other caps. the cap is marked and so is the pcb

Thanks Dave, think you have it there. I followed steps from an on-line video and think they got their polarities mixed up as have now seen 2 more which contradict the 1st one plus other advice. Will check other caps for guidance and try again with a new cap. Cheers

Ok fitted new cap as per others on board and now seems to be working fine so thanks for advice. Just a note to readers, don’t always believe that what you find online is correct as that was what led me down this path. Always worth getting a second opinion on things. Thanks
