Re: Now the washers on the blink!

Thanks for the advice guys – in reality just what I expected – it’ll go to join it’s stable-mate at the recycle plant!
Having been very satisfied with the Whirlpool and how it has endured hard labour for ten years we’ve bough another of the same make and (hopefully) quality but with the optional five year warranty. Keeping our fingers crossed!!

Re: Advice saught re Sauter SVH91XF1 or similar

Don many thanks for the come back and info re the Fagor Brandt group. Incidentally when I viewed the Sauter there was a Bosch model SM150E45EU adjacent to it for exactly the same price (599 Euros). I was not impressed by the Bosch build quality, it had a plastic door catch, plastic chamber floor, and plastic filter, whereas the Sauter has all these components in stainless steel – much more to my preference. I haven’t seen Neff or Siemens but my research has been rather limited due to the lack of retailers with integrated machines available. I’ll keep looking.

Re: Electrolux Type 45 Not heating / drying

Eureka! It works!!

Having re-soldered the dry joint, replaced the PCB and re-assembled the machine – he presto – we have heat!

My heartfelt thanks to Penguin45 without who’s advice I could not have achieved the repair.

Now my dear wife tells me the washing machine isn’t heating the water…….. here we go again!

Re: Electrolux Type 45 Not heating / drying

Hi Penguin45 and thanks for the good advice.

You are absolutely right it is a European machine having been bought in France, where we are at present.

I’ve removed the heater cylinder and the resistance reading between the contacts is 25/26 ohms. There is no sign of arcing or burning at the contact plug. So it would appear that the unit is OK(?)

I traced the wiring circuit back from the plug to the door panel and located and removed the PCB from it.

It bears a sticker with the following data:-
CAUTION EDW1100 H-R-L
Electrostatic Sensitive Device
BITRON EE227
BITRON CODE 30410108
ELECTROLUX CODE 111142200
SW C0905F 18
230V/50Hz T65
DATE 142-04

It has no obvious external signs of damage or scorching. However, following your excellent advice I examined the back of the board and, as you predicted, I found a burnt out connection to a 12 volt relay pin.

I could re-solder the joint and re-assemble the machine but I’m wondering if the relay might be faulty which has caused the burnt connection? I’m also thinking it might be more prudent to replace the PCB to avoid future faults and having to dis-assemble the whole lot again?

Your experience and further guidance would be much appreciated.

Kind regards CL

Re: Indesit IDL530 Not washing/heating up

Hi frrussel
I have a similar problem with my Arthur Martin / Electrolux dishwasher. How did you identify that yours was a PCB problem?
