wow-Dave, and the others that have posted on this thread. I replaced a Beko washer/dryer in August that had gone dead suddenly, the repair guy said it would be e150 to get a new board, or he could seel mee a used machine for e300, so I decided to bite the bullet and just buy a new one.
So two months later, another one goes that was also just out of warranty, I checked online and found this forum, I rang the gujy, told him what I had found and if he could help, he said -yeah, it’s a common issue and he’d take the board to a guy and repair it for e50′ -I hid my frustration that he didnt tell me this with the previous one, so said I’d get back to him. It would be a 30 minute drive each way to get him the board, then same to collect. I went to a local guy that used to fix tv’s, he said hed fix/solder it no problem, if I got the part, got 5 d7 next day delivery for e18, he soldered, I put the board back in the machine, bang, display lit up, I’m back in action, and he only charged e5 for soldering.- so e22, vs e600 for a new one. I try to send as little to the landfill as possible, so this really is a win win win. Thanks to everyone for making me a happy man and my tenants delighted that they were only waiting 2 days for a repair.

BTW I am not an engineer, so I have no clue about doing readings or OHMS etc, so if it didn’t work, I was out of options 😀
