Hi,
I have a W256W, and it has started to turn itself back on, immediately after switching off, so I am suspecting the board or a component on it.
I’m hoping that this can be a fix at a sensible price, as I bought the machine based on the USP of lengthy life expectancy and parts at cost for the inevitable time when something fails.
Anyway, it’s not a major issue, as it does stay on, but will not stay off unless switched off at the mains, which might be my best option for the foreseeable…
Thanks for any assistance.don wrote:[USER=”3176″]iadom[/USER] he’s the ISE expert 😀

I wish.:) The likeliest cause is as you surmise a main board fault. Not something I have ever encountered and the cost of a complete main board is extremely expensive. If it was mine I would possibly try a quick spray of a good quality switch cleaner around the area of the switch on the back of the board.
If it will work by switching off at the mains and the plug is easily accessible then the is possibly the best option.
Main pcb if still available is around £200.:(Thanks for the response. The main board pricing is rather disappointing and makes me wish I’d never bought this thing at all. It would have been cheaper to buy a cut priced machine and more often, but obviously more environmentally damaging.
There is a chance that I could repair the board, but I’ll need to dismantle the machine first and it will be offline for a while, which is the deal breaker.
Why are the boards so expensive anyway? Surely no justification for it.As long as it works by switching off at the mains socket and it is not inconvenient to do so then that is by far the best option to take. The main board is quite a large unit on these and the cost is very similar or even a good bit less than control boards for the likes of Miele or high end Bosch, Neff, Siemens kit etc.
A very quick scan in our store shows a Bosch panel at £199.95, a Siemens one at £249.95, I dread to even think what Miele price theirs at.
Is the ISE board not the same sort of price? I thought it was also circa £200?
I suspect the switch or switching relay on the board, possibly repairable…Exactly, it’s a similar or lower price than several other higher cost appliances. As you say possibly repairable but I certainly wouldn’t take the risk of doing it whilst the machine still functions in all other areas.
Are there any other spares worth getting for common weak points of the machine whilst they are still available? I planned on having this thing for up to 20 years.
The spares availability is not the best due to the sad demise of ISE. I have been retired for five years now but when I was working I had over fifty of the high spec ASKO based machines on my ‘plot’. I never carried a single item as van stock for them and cannot think of any part that I changed more than once. Therefore it’s difficult to pin point any ‘common weak points’. A lot of the functional parts are identical to the ASKO machines made in Sweden at the time. I personally have an ISE W1607W that is now almost 12 years old. It is completely untouched repair wise from new.
…and now it won’t stay on. 🙁
So, do I invest in a new board at £200 or buy a Bosch WGG24409GB for £540? [h=1][/h]Have you tried to spray some switch cleaner into the area of the on/off switch? Do not use WD40, must be proper electrical switch cleaner.
No, not yet, but I’ve had the board out and the switch seems positive. The machine turns on for a minute or two now, but switches itself off. I can hear the relays working.
Without the means or time to properly test and repair the board, I have reluctantly decided to replace the machine, as it is beyond economical repair.
A new board would fix the problem, but when I can get a new machine for less than £500 and with a five year warranty, spending £200 on a main board doesn’t make economical sense.
A great shame really.
Thanks for all your help though.
