Re: Fiber Glass Matting Repairs to Plastic Outer Tubs?

Aluminuim sheet……….I go to the local enginering company and go through there swarf/scrap bin………like a real pikey !!

Try cutting up a M/C back panel or Tumble dryer drum………..I have even used a 2 pence piece………..I sound like a real cowboy !!

Hope my horse starts in the morning I have busy day tomorrow !!

Hi Ho Silver……..!!! 😛

I have used both on tubs, on bigger splits/holes I have bent a small aluminium plate to help bond and strenghen.
I have also used it on a stainless tubs with no problems………!!! 😯

The packaging says permantly hard in ten minutes……..that all ways brings a smile to the customers face !! 😆

PS I always warn the customer its a gamble and there is no come back if it fails/floods. No problems so far !!

Re: Ariston Margaritta Eeprom

I have not had much experience with this machine,

hope I am not stating the obvouis but, in the past I have had a lot of experiance with programming gate arrays and Eproms and because a Eprom is an array of floating gate transistors, which are programmed by higher voltages burning the internal connections. In my experiance it is vey very rare that a certain part of the eprom will have a fault (unlesss its in the manufacturing stage of the silicon die) If there is a short on the PCB it is more likly to take out the whole Eprom. I think I would check out the motor drive voltages and trace back to the motor drive components on the PCB look at and relays & switching components.

Good luck !! (sorry if I sound a bit geeky) Ha Ha !!

Re: Diplomat 8512

On this model there is only one 20uF cap that checks out OK.

There seems to be three sets (pairs) of motor windings Grey, white and red wires to the motor and the black capacitor start wires.
None of the pairs of wires are open circuit or have a gnd fault.
The red wires never have a voltage driven to them so I can only conclude this is the fast spin winding and the PCB never drives any power to this winding .

“faulty PCB”

Any comments PLEASE !!

Re: Diplomat 8512

Ok I shall look for another cap.

There is the TRIAC on the PCB is this used for the wash cycle control, or is this impossible as its a induction type motor. Do you think the motor spin cables just get routed through the PCB .

Thanks for your help.
