Re: ISE10 1606W drum not turning
Sadly at 12/04 (~2 months after initial order) parts still not in from Slovenia so washing mountain forces me to cancel parts order, scrap £899 of generally excellent condition washing machine after only 4 years and buy another machine.
I’m open to offers for the working parts (i.e. anything but motor control board/control PCB/door switch that are suspect) that I will recover from the machine & keep in the garage for a short while, you may spot them on ebay shortly 🙁Re: Washing machine trips RCD – motor?
As far as I can tell, the symptoms are identical to an 8 year old AEG 6100 Digitronic I had, and finding web search replacement costs of £400 for a new motor I scrapped it and bought an ISE1606W. [That turned out to be a very unfortunate decision when it failed last month and I found they’d gone bust]. Because the AEG was in otherwise excellent condition and a half decent spec I wish now that I had taken the motor down to my local motor repairers (one in most major towns?) and at least got them to quote for a repair. I’ve had car motors/alternators repaired at very reasonable prices, might be worth a phone call to get an idea of a re-build price? If total repair cost is more than a third the price of a new machine then sadly myself I’d probably buy a new machine these days. I’ve now become pretty disillusioned about spending significant money repairing white goods 🙁
Re: ISE10 1606W drum not turning
Yep, but sadly I have to deal with the situation ‘as is’, not where I’d like it to be. If I learn anything through the process of attempting the repair I’ll post it. The trail of burnt out tracks points to the door lock, but I’m not 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} convinced, currently I’m still awaiting parts ordered on the 12/2, that I thought were in stock, just chased with an e-mail.
Re: ISE10 1606W drum not turning
Its been suggested the door switch has failed and created a short, this has blown two tracks close to the door connector terminals on the control board. On the MCU The EPCOS NTC60 TH1 protection thermistor marked ‘0950’, adgjacent to the power rectifier diodes – GBU10J (two of them) has also blown. I’ve ordered a new MCU and door switch but want to repair the existing MCU (@£100 a time) but I cannot identify the value of this thermistor from online searches. I’m desperate to repair this, any old contacts on the design side? Door switch looks difficult to replace any tips?
Re: ISE10 1606W drum not turning
Thanks, yes motor turns easily with belt off (or on) connections appear OK, although I always disliked those push on cct board edge connectors…. anyone out there with a known working (& spare) secondhand inverter board?
Re: Electra (Creda) Sensair drum not rotating
I’m sincerely grateful for your input, looks like this is effectively E.o.L then, pity 🙁
So the next question is what do I replace it with? I’d like a vented machine, long life (!) & prepared to pay a bit more for a half decent one, thoughts? Bosch wta74200?
NB: I have a ISE10 (1606) washing machine (2 years old, works well, OK so far) but they only seem to do a condenser dryer machine now. My first Electra W/M lasted circa 11 years & two children, AEG Lavomat ~9 years (& motor death).Re: Electra (Creda) Sensair drum not rotating
Hi Iadom, Its a 3 rib belt. I’ll have to test the motor tomorrow night with equipment from work. Looking at it at the moment, removing the pulley wheel holder, drilling out the 4 (or all 8) rivets on the cage nearest the ‘access’ hole (pulley side) and re-riveting afterwards looks easiest?
motor? If you can recommend a reputable source (Whitegoods search didn’t show one?), or if think I’d be better taking the existing one down to my local motor repair centre (one in town) I’m prepared to take advice, but new (? – I’ll check) on http://www.yourspares.co.uk/parts/creda … TR162.aspx
