Hmm, it is in the corner of the kitchen, so a possibility. Think I may keep the new one in the next alcove over when it arrives to try to mitigate this.

Still, from what I can find online, the main PCB in LG machines is at the top (was at the bottom in our AEG) so I’d have thought it should be safer from that.

Picked up that knowledge about the PCB placement from your post in this thread;

In spite of this, we’re now considering going for a Ebac machine, they’ve got a 7 year warranty at the moment, plus UK built and serviceable sounds appealing. Can’t find too much other info on them as they’re still relatively new/small company. Have you found any to work on yet?

Thanks again,
Jim

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply, I’ll open the sockets up today and have a look. They are in an external wall of our old, cold, damp house, so wonder if that could be causing problems.

Could a plug in circuit breaker (an AFCI one perhaps) help insure against this? Might give my electrician mate a call tomorrow and pick his brains.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again,
Jim
