Re: JTM again!
I know for a fact that the first time hit rate which jtm engineers are doing are a worring concern for some ofthe contracts.i dont think that the engineers that are causing the delays but management that couldnt organise a p*ss up in a brewery and couldnt care less as long as they get there pay each month.

I didn’t notice that… 😕
but regarding that, they have the same ability to program new boards like those from Merloni/Hotpoint, is normal… why should they produce for each model one board when they can have in stock just one type unprogrammed… 😉They use SideKickPC for that… 😳

The PCB’s on Zanussi machines do seem to have become far less reliable in the last year or so. 😥They had lucky to use so much… 😈 because just yesterday I diagnosed two “E-lux” machines which haven’t been sold and where dead already… completly dead (main PCB has to be change) after one connection to the main power supply… 👿

Like in all models after getting out from service regime you have to turn OFF and ON twice whithout taking in consideration what’s happen. Just after that he will be on user mode…
Re: Electrolux EWD14091 ..ELE?
Hi Jim,
This is one of examples that I’ve wrote on that post with electronic repair… 😈I Suppose that is EWD1409I 😳 with EWM2000Evo (full electronic) board than:
– first of all check for earth leakage from all heaters;
check pressure switch (change);
– than look on PCB on connector J3 at pin3 (J3.3) and also at J3 pin5 (J3.5) on both legs has to be on each two rezistors of 470KOhms (yelow/violet/yelow marked) check them… with multimeter … for quality measurements (because is hard to explain in detail) disconnect one resistor terminal and check than…8)
Re: American FF Samsung RSG5DUMH or LG GWL227HBQA
hi
the Samsung RSG5DUMH hasnt had any real faults other than the customers getting used to it in my service area.yes there is a recall on the RS”! but how many other manufacturers are ther just hiding under the covers a saying go away.i know of at least 3 with major faults that they wont acknowledge.
There again the LG service has a less than 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} 1st time repair rate and extortionate parts cost.

Yes is right… but also the internet have give us the possibility to learn easiest, faster and much on our jobs… without him will stand even now at producers hands… He have now the opportunity to interchange our knowledge’s BUT after seven years on working for British-American Tobacco Company like trade member and sales representatives I learn that I shouldn’t sale my self (my knowledge and abilities) anyway… The incomings will arise in proportion with service quality and good management of spending (costs management)…
In order to understand what I mean: I have now in my workshop two Beko’s with the same problem for a week… The problem stays into eeprom file… but I cannot reach that file because, like other manufactures Beko, doesn’t gave access to spares from appliances sold in other countries (neither technical info)… so I have to look after that in Germany… to seek trade members who recon boards and ask for that file…
So from my point of view (costs and efforts) isn’t anymore efficient… but for my “image/advertising” is good… so all my customer has to know that they will be convincing that can resolve most of problem with me…
If I convince myself that in this area I do not have feature anymore (in two or tree years I will not be able to earn enough that I need) then I will specialize in other field but still in applied electronic… we have to be flexible and malleable, investing all time into learning and stay updated on what appears on the market… One big mistake I’ve made some time ago (to be 20 years ago) when instead on developing my knowledge (after graduate University) I start to work in other field just from money point of incoming view… so I have to work harder to overcome this delay… and other mistake was at beginning of my business when instead of staying close to information I have worked a lot on field…

I’ve no problem with sourcing the bits, I do it already for some electronic repairs so it’s not really a hassle to add a few more bits. THat said, the P&P often costs more than the parts!K.
I also do not have problems on helping in giving some tips.
I suggest just to be able on puting directly images (.jpg or other) in order to see accurate things…iadom wrote:Perhaps a more flexible charging structure to the trade side could be a more acceptable route.
The WF board I repaired for a parts cost of 17p would have cost me £50 from EMW. .
Jim, I understood all those things… always repair costs from material used is cheap but, to find which must be change is little harder… I do not spoke here about the time spent on testing&probe… So I translated into my work so:
– an new board cost X £
– an recon board from me cost 3/4 X £ with my quaranty or 1/2 X £ without [same board at my customer choice (trade member)]
– an repair repair job cost under 1/2 X £So my customer (trade members) will earn in the same proportion like me for: good diagnose; “changing parts” and public relation …
Isn’t fair enough? 😳

Manny of so called PCB repair is done in less than an hour and with less costs 😯 … but for that you should have a lot of different electronic pieces and tools… for example for main old electronic control boards will be enough one cheap soldering but in newest you have to work with soldering station/ heating air station and the last is soldering without heat (those are used for printed circuits on glass ceramic for ex.). I want to say that to find what should be done and how will spend enought money and time… :hmm:
But I do think that everyone should see what can be done better in his domain. :lesson: In other words what will happen when each people will try to repair all kind of things. Price for each job will decrease, will be fewer jobs per day and so on… We, from east countries, have and still leave our live in this way and isn’t good at all… Nobody will respect others jobs… :shake:
For example how do you fill and say when, going to one call, customer will tell you “just bring me the carbon brush because my washer has E50 error… and for changing them aren’t hard jobs and should take no charge…???” :angry4: nobody will appreciate …
Another example is that: in my area if someone bring one board to me which was tried to repaired… than price will be double… in order to secure me that he will not try again to s.c.c. my income… In the same way I do not go at customers home, even I am able to do, because my job and business is just B2B (“business to business”)… 8)
It’s just one point of view 😕
