Re: BOSCH WAE24162
kind of what i thougt… indesit has a tonne of bells and whistles that i never used so i want to go back to basics..
FYI… get a virgin credit card. you can buy £50 comet voucher with 13{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} off…. that is how you can get a £250 BOSCH for £216 with free delivery!! 8)
Re: Indesit superceeded parts advice for WIE 157 washing Mac
Don’t envy you my friend… when I do any form of electronics I use a pretty clean environment.. good lighting with a rail of antistatic precuations in my lab at work or my garage at home… to do this with a housewife with 2 screaming kids on the kitchen worktop in an unknown environment must be a challenge………… 😳
Not sure what to do now… machine is 3 years to the day old… been great apart from a broken wire on the speed sensor connector that I fixed about 12 months ago (see my previous post)… new machine is going to cost £300 plus and I could get a new prom and board for £150 or less……… 😈
Machine works and sounds fine.. bearing are good.. motor is good ad all the other bits are sound… can start a wash but have no idea what is happening… it goes through a cycle in normal time even tho the display shows 4h08m all the time…… also I cannot change the spin speed or temp as these button do not respond… gotta be the board (maybe a blown cap or resistor feckin up the timin circuit or the EEPROM has failed and reverted to a default config that does not support this machine..
What a dilema…………………………….. let’s see what the wife thinks………. the costs now go from £40 – £90 – £130 – £300 +……………
Guess I should do EEPROM then board and if that fails cut my losses and buy new machine
Re: Indesit superceeded parts advice for WIE 157 washing Mac
wow.. that is an eye opener.. I am a pretty competant electronics engineer.. but without blueprints it is going to be impossible for me to see if it is the EEPROM or board…. bummer.. 🙁
From the issue I am having i am going to assume it is the EEPROM… it would appear to have lost its program and defaulted to a lesser or default setting routine (just a hunch)…. 😯
If the new board on order does not come with the chip in it then I may risk buying a new EEPROM on its own and fit it to my current board.. all the lights and stuff work it just seems to have lost its way…. kinda like Matt Damon in the Bourne Identity.. altho it hasn’t started to kill people yet (or washing 😆 )
Hmmmmmm.. what to do.. the board it £90 and the EEPROM is up to £50 depending on the loaded firmware…….. 😉
Why does it have to be so hard… and what company would seriously expect a washing machine technician (no disrespect to you guys by the way) to have a fully kitted antistatic setup to allow them to desolder and solder an IC??… this is not a job to be attempted without the correct environment and tools…
Re: Indesit superceeded parts advice for WIE 157 washing Mac
I am a bit cofused.. the board I have has all the IC’s welded and installed.. there does not seem to be a removable EEPROM so I am not sure where the chip actually resides…. normally EEPROM’s are fitted into a quick release slot…..
I am confident that this is the problem and everything else checks out and works fine…
Also I have a quote for a replacement board for around £96,.. does this sound right.. also would this require all I need
