Good afternoon,

Having sent Get it Fixed a firm email last week, they finally agreed to return the board – and it arrived back with me this afternoon!

Clearly, I would avoid this company.

[jontymox]

Well, that would make sense… although I wonder which sensor may be playing up?

[jontymox]

The above ‘company’ have finally responded to my request not to proceed with the board repair, and to return the board.

Having phoned and emailed them several times, without reply, an email has finally been received today!

They have informed me that to return the board a charge of £46.00 would be incurred; Electronics Engineer Services & P+P

However, should the board be ‘recycled’ by them, the above fee would be waived.

So, a hard lesson has been learned by me, and I certainly cannot recommend the above company for any electronic repairs.

Well, I chased up getitfixed yesterday, and they have come back with an extremely high repair quote.

They have determined that the fault lies within the smps (switched mode power supply) and would like £176.00 to repair the board! ( electronic engineers services @ £148.00 and £28.00 parts)

They have also decreed that “no tests can be made at this stage,” and “once the unit has been serviced, we can test the other functions that the unit is coming with.”

A new programmed board from Bosch is around £240.00 – hence, I’ve asked them not to proceed.

In the meantime, my customer has purchased a Beko washing machine, so I’ll request that the original board is returned, and see if I can repair it, as the washer is only 4 years old, and in very good condition…

Well, I’ve received email confirmation from ‘getitfixed’ this afternoon, confirming that they have received the above Bosch W/M board.

However, they have now informed me that it will be around 6-8 weeks before the board can be inspected/tested! (a standard repair queue, I gather)

They have also let me know that they can offer an ‘Express Service,’ at a cost of £35.00 should I wish to have the board inspected sooner!

I have emailed them back, to let them know how disappointed I feel with the above, and await their response…

😮

Well, I sent the above board to ‘get it fixed’ last Wednesday (03/09) and they are unable to inspect it until next Monday! (15/09)

I understand that they were closed for holidays for several days last week.

I chased them up, and received an email yesterday to confirm that the board had arrived with them, although, as mentioned, it will not be ‘booked in’ until next Monday, due to a backlog…

So, I’m not sure about this company at all, and remain doubtful that they will be able to repair the board.

Moving forward, does anyone know any reputable electronics companies that can repair such for future reference?

jonty

[jontymox]

Well, I’ve contacted ‘easypcb’ earlier today, and he/they are closed due to ill health for several months, and cannot help at the moment.

I’ve emailed ‘get it fixed’ who appeared on a Google search, and will wait to see if they can assist.

Does anyone know any other reputable companies that offer such a service, as bith my main contacts closed in recent years? (EMW and QER)

jonty

[jontymox]

Thanks Dave,

Yes, I wondered if QER had closed… phone constantly engaged, and website u/s.

So, along with EMW closing a couple of years ago, it seems like such companies are becoming obsolete…

jonty

[jontymox]

Good morning,

I’ve not inspected the power module yet, although a relay in it clicks several times, prior to switching itself off.

I will contact QER, and see if they can test and repair the above.

jonty

[jontymox]

Yes, I agree Dave,

I couldn’t locate a pressure switch.

Not sure if I’ll have chance to confirm, and test further as the dishwasher is in rented accommodation, and the landlord is being slow in responding. (I sense they may be replacing the dishwasher.)

I’ll update if possible.

Thanks again,

jonty

[jontymox]

Sorry for the late update.

Having returned to have another look at the above dishwasher, the complete wiring harness is good, as far as I can possibly determine.

May have to admit defeat on this obscure fault.

jonty

[jontymox]

Thanks Dave,

That is very helpful, as always!

I’ll return early next week, and inspect further.

jonty

[jontymox]

Well, I suspect the pressure switch (which I don’t know if it can be tested conclusively?)

If not, perhaps there is a tiny hole in the water sump, allowing water to ingress the above?
