Re: Neff H5430 Off switch not working

Hi Martin
problem sorted. It took me a while to find out how the front panel comes off . For future reference there are two screws on the inside near the top. You unclip the electrical connections then undo these screws and the panel lifts up and out.
Once off I could see that the problem was indeed a broken lug on the Off microswitch. There wasn’t enough sticking out to solder to so I started looking on the internet for a replacement with the same dimensions. There are lots of similar ones available but it was difficult to judge which would fit. Then I realised that the control panel uses the same switches for all the other buttons, many of which we never use. So I unsoldered another one ( M1 ) and soldered it in place of the OFF switch. Job done.
Your right, it’s not economic if you are paying commercial rates for a professional, but it took less than one afternoon and I saved £285. That’s a good return by my reckoning.

Re: Bosch Maxx completely dead

Just to finish the story, I sent the board to QER and they confirmed it was faulty but were unable to repair. I was getting some domestic pressure from my wife who wanted to know when she’d be getting a washing machine so, reluctantly, I’ve bought a new one.
Thanks to everyone who offered helpful suggestions.

Re: Bosch Maxx completely dead

Thanks guys, some good advice there.
I’ve now taken the board out and can see that the diodes are fried.
I’ll try QER and see what they can do. I’ve then got to hope that the fault was something onboard and not anything external or the repaired board will also pop.
I’ll let you know.
