What worries me is encouraging the gereral public / strangers to get involved in repairs when you have no idea of there skill level if any and if they are aware of the the risks.No-one actively encourages them and, anyway, they’d do it anyway regardless of the potential risks. Trade opinion is irrelevant as they’d just go to DIYNOT or one of the paid services from supposed experts who couldn’t give a stuff beyond a percentage from an affiliate link to a spares supplier.
Is it not better to advocate safety and steer in the right direction than to remain silent?
Which is the mentality I apply to trade as well as public.
Is it also not better to promote logical diagnosis over throwing parts at a problem? Any idiot can go in and swap out bits till they get it right. This is what I refer to as “parts bingo”, you swap bits till it works and shout “BINGO, I’m a genius and fixed it”… yeah, okay then, you’re so clever.
Same thing, different spin. But exactly what Martin is actually pointing at if I’m not mistaken, I will happily be corrected if wrong Martin.
And yes Martin, if I was paid for every time I had a “it must be the PCB” conversation I would indeed be much better off, but heh ho.
Fact is, 35{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} or higher of the PCBs we get returned are not faulty in any way.
Amica reckon that there’s is 55{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}+ not faulty.
That’s a damning statistic in either event. I will allow you to draw your own conclusions and expand if you really want me to.
I would say this though, some repairers could learn a whole hell of a lot from Martin, IADOM, Penguin45, Johnmac11, Eastlmark and many others on how to actually diagnose problems. You really should listen to these “old hands” on this stuff as they do actually know what they’re doing and talking about on this subject, even I have the good sense to respect that knowledge.,
K.ive read some very similar stats
samsung claim a high percentage of pcbs arent faultyi wont lie, u all know where i work…
however , its infuriates me when i go to a parts job with 5+ parts… are they really all faulty?
i use my meter , and megger on every job, and fault find properly
in reality, do 5 parts faill all at the same time?
ur all right, proper testing is imperitive.. for costing, efficiency, and most importantly, safety
ok, we’ll all bear that in mind when we want to rewire a house
so good he must be, doin live testing and stuff
if its simple, with nothing much in there, why is he asking for help?
no need to be bullish about it, the facts are, he hasnt found the fault
is it in an outhouse/ garage/ cold room
sounds like ambient temperature lock out to me
but if its indoors, its the front ntc thats at fault
well, thats wrong
hoover arent admitting a modification on that, but the right part number is
41013142
id be chcking for fan function and blockages in the condenser whilst your doing your repair
good luck
do u have a serial number, because there was a modification for that
the 3rd ‘stat’ is actually a thermistor.. and if you plug a stat into it, it will show an error code
serial number will help determine the correct parts you need!
