    Re: Beko wmb 71642 w self clean cycle

    ah result

    under the sale of goods act all machines have to be “of merchantable quality” “fit for the putpose” and last a reasonable lenth of time for an appliance of its type. the reasonable man woulod expect a washing machine to last longer than 18 months
    go back to the retailer where you bought it stating that under the sale of goods act ( think its 1979)as amended your machine was not of merchantable quality and not fit for purpose and what are they going to do about it. up to 2 years old it should not be too much of a fight.

    good luck

    Re: bosch maxx 6

    no spin problems fall into 2 types

    1 a component failure
    2 machine cant pump out properly or balance problems

    type 2 can be large items quilt covers bath mats etc that makes the drum out of balance and the computer will not allow it to spin in case damage to the machine. also if the filter is blocked the water will not discharge quickly enough for the machine to spin dry

    type 1 is your component failure motor brushes etc. As these start to fail they spark and this may allow machine to wash but stops it spinning properly. if they fail completely

    hope it helps

    Re: Samsung RS21-DGRS replacement main PCB

    main board they list alternatives to the original part number which was DA41-00388a

    pre june 2006 use DA4100185J
    post june 2006 DA4100388J this one seems most likely

    Re: bosch maxx 6

    if the motor does not turn most likely the motor brushes have gone and need replacing

    Re: Samsung RS21-DGRS replacement main PCB

    fridges are not my strong point but the little research i have done seems parts are available. you cant go by the circuit board numbers as these may have changed as Samsung modifies over a production run. which board is the blown chip on? main pcb or door display board?

    ULN2083 seems to be a driver chip. it may have short circuited internally and popped. should be easy to source and try that first as it is prob the cheapest option

    a bit weird these parts seem to show on the trade site but no on 4mysamsung.co.uk

    seems to show display board as DA41-00173a but i cant guarentee this

    Re: NEFF B4540 – display gone blank

    have you looked at display with a torch ie has the lights behind display failed ( not that this is an easy fix )

    also do not turn oven off as you may not get it back on if clock wont set

    either way looks like a complete display board and its very dear. i am getting prices in excess of £150 but need complete Enr to be certain

    Re: Spot the difference. Or one of them. Simple pcb repair?

    think thats a 5v voltage reg. would expect other things apart from the motor not to work if thats gone.
    as for motor short not sure on servis what would happen. on zanussi it give you a fault code.

    you would have to trace motor circuitry but unless there is a relay failure it may be a new board

    long shot have you checke tacho continuity ?

    did not read your post properly as you say it is across L&N so its gone short and went with a bang. from what i can see of the board reverse they have narrowed the print to act as a fuse in case this happens

    bad news. since it is only a safety component it is unlikely to cause your no motor fault. although when it blew the resulting spike may have caused the problems

    Re: Spot the difference. Or one of them. Simple pcb repair?

    the component is a vdr (voltage dependant resistor). its job is to soak up voltage spikes to stop it damaging other components. most of the time you find them across mains triacs. since a triac would get damaged if the voltage went above 600v or so the vdr conducts to let the spike drain away. if they go faulty it depends on the job they are doing what happens. if it is across a triac then the vdr bypasses the triac turning on the component such as a valve etc. if they are across the mains they go with a bang. in your case you will probably find live and neutral to the board are either side of it

    Re: Smeg a42 fan element

    the smeg site is showing a 3 turn 2700w element for your cooker but they are also as for serial no to make sure

    http://www.servevastdirect.co.uk/index. … ct_id=5305

    there is no problem replacing a 2 turn element with a 3 turn provided its physical size fits ok and the wattage about right. From the reliabilty point of veiw there is less wattage per inch of element so they tend to last longer. it could be the original 2 turn element has been changed to prevent premature failure
