Re: Ariston AV1048C, drum not turning

Thanks Candyking, useful tip!
The resistor is OK on mine.
Anyway, I’ll be sure to report back after it’s done a few cycles 😀

hotpnt: No, they are coming out “further” than where they need to to contact the comm, but only a few mm further. I have ordered a new set anyway.

helo_75: Yes, I did check the PCB edge connector and it looked perfect. As you say it could have been the problem though, if it happens again I’ll re-tin the pads.

Thanks for the help guys, this is a really useful forum, repair not replace and all that 🙂

Machine is 13 years old and this is the first problem with it, gets 2/3 cycles a week.

Re: Ariston AV1048C, drum not turning

Connector looked fine, no corrosion or anything. I put it back together and it came back to life 😯
I wonder if just switching it off and on at the mains would have done the same trick.

Anyway, going to treat it to a new set of brushes before I put it back to work.

Thanks!

Re: Ariston AV1048C, drum not turning

Hi all,
I have the same model and it’s just developed the exact same fault. The fuse on the control board is OK however, and there’s no sign of anything letting the smoke out.
The comm and brushes are in good condition, although there’s not much left in them I promise to replace them if I can get it working again 😛 ).

I found the control module (EM 13 SFB) on one website for 81 quid, on special order for two weeks as well so I’m not too keen to do that yet.

Does anyone have a schematic for this thing, there’s only a couple of chips and a thing that looks like an Triac on it, if I can identify them..

Also it would be nice to know if it’s this controller or the timer or something else causing the problem, is there any way to diagnose that?

Any advice greatly appreciated!
