Re: Kenwood KDW60X13 Flashing display

Fault Found, took about an hour. 😀

Remove front of door and remove control board and display and button assembly. Wire it up on bench and fit a 5.7 Kilo ohm resistor and two shorting links to replace the necessary flood and door sensors etc.

Fault still apparent on bench but every so often the control panel would start working after a fashion, in that when opening door (remove shorting link), then the programme display would start counting by itself but after 5 or 10 mins into a simulated wash the display would start flashing again. :rolls:

Programme counter rolling through programmes was the clue. Resistance meter showed 24 Kilo ohm across switch when NOT pressed. The 3 other buttons all showed open circuit of course. A quick shot of Servisol and some heat on switch legs and problem solved.

Reassemble machine and all is well. Result! 😀

Re: dead EWG 127410

Hi there.

Thanks for that. I’m carrying out the repair for a friend who has a white goods repair business. I’ve 20yrs in the electronics business with a broad spectrum of repair work behind me. I’m just starting to repair some boards for him to save him sending them away for repair. Its prohibitively expensive to replace these boards with new as people often wont pay.

Anyway, the resistor (£ 0.12p)feeds AC (low current) to an LNK304GN (AC to DC converter (£ 1.00p) which appears to have an internal short.

Just ordered the bits from RS Components.

Many thanks.

Re: Shock absorber replacement

Thanks Don.
I’ll order the originals then. Got to order motor brushes as well, there’s not much meat left on the originals.
Thanks again.

Re: Shock absorber replacement

Cheers Don.
I have to ask……. How do the cheaper pair compare with the dearer Miele units? Sometimes these things are often made by the same company! 😯
Thanks.

Re: Shock absorber replacement

Yup, already listed the part No above. My part No 2728561.
