Re: Bosch SGS5312GB Not Heating

Interesting debate. I guess the joint is under-dimensioned for the current flowing which is why this happened in the first place, all the other joints look really good. Anyway I have resoldered and pleased to report the machine works fine now. If the solder joint eventually fails the worst that can happen is a repeat of the problem ie joint burns out and connection is lost so heater stops and in 5 years time I get my soldering iron out again.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Bosch SGS5312GB Not Heating

Having no luck with the plastic hinge things, don’t suppose there are any diagrams available anywhere? Otherwise will have to hope the door survives without. Will try the machine tomorrow for heating and post the result. I have taken some photos of the burned out joint on the board, would it be useful if I posted it up? If so where?

Thanks for your help, assuming the repair works this has saved me a lot of hassle!

Re: Bosch SGS5312GB Not Heating

I have found and fixed a burnt out joint to a relay on the pcb. Hoping this was the problem. Putting the door back together there are two large plastic jobbies that seemed to sit in the main body of the machine right at the base of the door, can’t for the life of me work out how they are supposed to go in without jamming the door as it opens, any ideas please?

Thanks for the pointer, will have a look asap. For info I have tried running a quick wash cycle, three hours later it is still on the final rinse cycle, I guess this is caused by the lack of heating.
