Re: Bosch WFK 6010; possible to replace brushes?

Great. Thanks for this Twoten.
I have already used this website to try to find a local engineer (though no luck yet) since I can’t do the tests myself. 2 visits plus part(s) with no guarantee pushes me towards a new machine, but I’ll see what I’m quoted.

Many thanks once again

Dear iadom,
Thanks for explaining about the photo upload. I couldn’t seem to make the photo appear despite using img before the link, but I have a least got a functioning link below, I hope.

Dear Twoten,

I fear you might be right about not being able to replace the brushes.
I’ve taken the motor apart, but the rear motor casting looks a bit different to 496871, lacking the extra bit of metal in one corner that 496871 has:

In fact, my motor looks more like this:

which is normally found in a range of different (but similar) machines.
Or maybe the extra bit of metal doesn’t make any difference?

Thanks

Re: Bosch WFK 6010; possible to replace brushes?

Well, I managed to get the motor out. It was a bit more complex than the videos but I won’t bore you as it looks like it’s a rare configuration (unless anyone else has a wfk6010 and would like to know).

I can see where the brushes touch the coily thing but I’ve no idea how to get them out – it looks nothing like any of the videos (including the bosch one).
I’d love to post some photos but have no idea how to do so. Any hints?

Thanks.[/img]

Muchas gracias para tu consejo.
I will have a crack at getting the motor out. I guess worse case scenario is I order a new machine, which is probably what my wife prefers (though I’ve seen comments about the new machines being weaker due to plastic parts etc.).

the electronics inside the machine switches the unit off if the microwave hass not started so your problem is in the invertor section of the machine

this is not a home repair due to 5000 volts at the magnetron. it is likely to cost over £100 to put right but you may find a dealer with secondhand spares

Dear Dave,

Thank you very much for this.
Yes it does have ‘inverter’ written on the front.
When you write “not a home repair” do you mean that it would need to be taken to a workshop, or that it’s not a diy job?

Thanks again

Re: Panasonic NNA755W microwave fault

I have an apparently identical fault on a panasonic NN A772S combination oven (microwave/convection/grill). I got/get the burning smell, the sudden failure, and switching itself off after precisely 10 seconds. Before switching off, at about 5 seconds there is a small click, and then more clicks around 7 seconds as though it’s attempting to do something.
Convection still works.
I am also looking to find out if I should pursue a repair or just buy a new one (it’s about 8 years old).

Stephen – what did you end up doing?

Thanks

Nick
