Without the means or time to properly test and repair the board, I have reluctantly decided to replace the machine, as it is beyond economical repair.
A new board would fix the problem, but when I can get a new machine for less than £500 and with a five year warranty, spending £200 on a main board doesn’t make economical sense.
A great shame really.
Thanks for all your help though.No, not yet, but I’ve had the board out and the switch seems positive. The machine turns on for a minute or two now, but switches itself off. I can hear the relays working.
…and now it won’t stay on. 🙁
So, do I invest in a new board at £200 or buy a Bosch WGG24409GB for £540? [h=1][/h]Are there any other spares worth getting for common weak points of the machine whilst they are still available? I planned on having this thing for up to 20 years.
Is the ISE board not the same sort of price? I thought it was also circa £200?
I suspect the switch or switching relay on the board, possibly repairable…Thanks for the response. The main board pricing is rather disappointing and makes me wish I’d never bought this thing at all. It would have been cheaper to buy a cut priced machine and more often, but obviously more environmentally damaging.
There is a chance that I could repair the board, but I’ll need to dismantle the machine first and it will be offline for a while, which is the deal breaker.
Why are the boards so expensive anyway? Surely no justification for it.
