Went to this machine today- fault was not emptying water.
Removed pump to find no obstruction but pump impellor jammed and windings open circuit.Replaced Plaset pump and tested on drain but still no pump action.
No supply to pump- is it likely electronic module been damaged or am I missing something?I removed module for visual inspection and nothing obvious like blown tracks etc.
Would appreciate any comments before sending module to QER.
Thanks
Bryan
Re: Zanussi WJD1457W
Recent expereince with a Bosch dishwasher would lead me to say yes, the board is shot. Look closely for pin holes blown in the surface mounted triac that controls the pump.
Re: Zanussi WJD1457W
On closer inspection of pcb , as Mark suggested , small rupture in one of the triacs.QER confirmed faulty pump can cause damage to pcb and I`ve sent it to them for repair and test.
Electronic damage seems to be happening more often with what would normally be straight forward repairs. Today I had a Hotpoint wmt01 with door interlock faulty and once again having replaced interock it would appear to have pcb problems 👿 Wasn`t so bad with the WM range when you could resolder the tracks on the pcb but when components are blowing it means a return trip and additional cost.
I find these problems most frustrating but I fear these faults (where the electonics are damaged as a result of pump/motor/interlock/heater etc going faulty) are now every day occurrences. It makes pricing a repair before you do it virtually impossible.Anyway that`s it off my chest. 🙂
