Re: ariston a1235 dead

I decided to have another go at machine and what seems to be the problem area is the motor.
Fixed the track on pcb turned machine on and the motor seems to be under resistance but will turn freely by hand so is it a knackered motor or possibly brushes?

Re: ariston a1235 dead

Think i may give up on this one for the time being,thanks for your help.I have over the last couple of months been getting old machines and repairing them but have been very lucky with simple faults.
It has got me thinking about a possible career change into white goods and getting myself booked onto a course.
Any suggestions on that would be helpful i am aware of dixon training any others you are aware of?
Thanks again mark

Re: ariston a1235 dead

Can i check the element for insulation with a normal multimeter or does it get more complicated than that?

Re: ariston a1235 dead

Had another look and there seems to be a lot of soot around the heating element,the element itself seems ok.what else in that area could of caused the problem?
