Not sure which relay it is/was… but I have zero soldering skills, so I would have to get someone else to do it for me.
But will see how long it keeps working for.
Does anyone know what suitable relays are and where you would be them from.I am not sure what happened but I put the machine back together today after taking it apart to check the 3 circuit boards on front panel as you suggested.. and thought why not try the machine again… and it now works!. I did an empty rinse cycle and it worked without any errors. So I next did a short wash cycle with half a load of washing and it again worked with no hitches.
I am not sure what I did or why it has started working again as I had previously did at least two resets of machine and multiple test washes & rinses. I had just given up and decided come cut my losses with this machine as I have a long and good run with it this morning – I am not very good with things like soldering and other delicate fiddly stuff and was looking at getting new machine (was looking at a bosch 6 series on offer – washer only not a washer dryer I never really use the dryer function)!
Will see how long it continues to work for, thank you for all your help and advice Dave/Electrofix 🙂that is correct, i could hear and see if the water coming into the drawer.. I remove the drawer and could see the water coming in and also hear the water being pumped straight out
Thank you, Either I am being very thick and/or blind.. but i can’t see 12/1 written anywhere on the two main boards EFL900 & EPW900.
I was told i should try running the machine with the pump disconnected & insulated and see if the machine/dump fills up with water, is that worth doing?
Thank you
Here is better versions of the circuit board CAD drawings if they are helpful/might be more readable – managed to dig out an old scanner instead of using the phone to take pics
I really appreciate all the help and advice 🙂
There is a secondary board (EFL900) that has 3 orange and black with connects to the mainboard (EPW900). The reason I thought relay for the pump might be elsewhere is that in there is mention of M8 (drain relay) in both the diagrams and in one of the diagrams it looks there is a 2 pin/wire connector going to it???
Thanks and woohoo.. I managed to get knobs then board out!.
It all looks fine to my eyes. However I found some circuit board diagrams in wallet attached to the inside of the machine. I am wondering whether the drain pump relay is not on the mainboard out elsewhere on the machine with a wire from wherever the relay is going to the mainboard???
From the papers the following:
A – drain
M8 – drain pump.
I took pics of the docs and attached. also links for larger images

https://ibb.co/j96xpkmTDarn, I am struggling to even take the front knobs off.. its like they are stuck on with superglue.. tried putting a flat screwdriver in the gap behind the knobs the pulling on them but they are not coming off.. I don’t want to snap them off or break them. Is there any tricks or correct method to pulling them off instead of using brute force?
Thank you
I have been told/read that “the problem with replacing boards yourself is that there can be different boards for different machine serial numbers and even if you manage to get the correct one it may need to be programmed on the machine” is this correct?
Thank you electrofix.
I don’t want to force things and break any of the plastic bits. is there any diagrams or videos of how to take off the board? I removed the connectors and the 4 screws as in the pic.. Thank you again
