Re: Baumatic BDW13 temperature sensor location
Great thanks for the info. What about my thermostats – one has a red dot the other not. The one without closes in hot water, the one with the red dot seems to do do nothing in hot water – remains at about 1600 ohms?
Re: Baumatic BDW13 temperature sensor location
Right, got the temperature sensor off (after breaking the plastic bracket as one side was inaccessible), and it reads 10,000 ohms at room temperature, and drops when warmed by hand. This seems lower than another post I saw of 16k.
Could this be my problem? I also noticed I didn’t think there was a good contact between the sensor and the bottom of the dishwasher, although I can’t see how that would stop it heating at all, if anything it would overheat.
I have also just very closely inspected the PCB and can’t see andy dry joints or scorch marks. Running out of ideas now so need some of your expert advice.
Re: Baumatic BDW13 temperature sensor location
Right, I’ve removed both thermostats from the bottom. They’re both marked KSD201 and one has a red dot on the bottom of it. The one without the red dot has a closed circuit when cool and an open circuit when immersed in hot water, which I assume is correct. The one with the red dot has a permanently openish circuit (1600 ohms).
Is this correct? Should I be changing this before the temperature sensor, which I still can’t find by the way!
Any help would be great.
I also saw the thread about changing the relay on the PCB but that’s my plan C!
Re: Ikea Whirlpool DWF 415 struggling to fill water?
Looks like it wasn’t the inlet valve – after replacing it I still have the same symptons – on-off-on-off-on-off until the water is full then it works as normal.
I don’t fancy buying the PCB just on the offchance so I might have to admit defeat, unless you have another idea?
Is there any possibilty of a refund on the valve?
Regards,
Nick.
