Re: Bosch Exxcel SGS45E02GB/45 capacitor blown, now prog stu

Many thanks again for your advice, it’s helped me make a decision.
I’ve kind of lost faith in the reliability of white goods as I recently had an expensive Bosch Logixx tumble dryer brekdown due to a circuit board break – this was within 5 years. It seems that reliability is more down to pot luck than brand name or price paid.
So I’m going to buy a new machine and shop on the basis of length of warranty – there are a number of models from Seimens and Miele (I’m sure there are others) with a full parts and labour 5 year warranty included.
Roll on the time when environmental laws get so tough that manufacturers build things to last 20 years again!
Anyway, once again thanks for the words of advice.

Thanks for the response, that is what I fear. I didn’t realise that the “potential” suppressor damage was there at first and suspected a dodgy wall socket and so when plugged into another socket all seemed well when the dishwasher worked.
For the layman is the pcb something I could get an engineer to fix (if this is what it is) or would it have to be replaced as a new part?
I’m assuming the pcb is part of the module?
I know it’s all speculation as it really needs an engineer to look but I’m just trying to decide whether to call out, buy a part myself or get a new machine.
Many thanks again.
