Re: Fisher & Paykel "Smartdrive" washing machine motor contr
Quick follow-up:
I eventually obtained all 6 of the replacement components with only a slight doubt about the diode in this thread.
De-soldered all suspect components, cleaned the carbon “blast damage” to the circuit board, & re-fitted the new components.
When the control board was reassembled in the machine & mains power switched on ………………. Bloody nothing !!
Well I guess I asked for it because I have no real way of knowing what caused the initial fault or of testing the repaired board.
I really think Fisher & Paykel should rethink there absurdly restrictive policy of not providing a circuit diagram with reference voltage check points.
This item new is now priced at Aus$339 – about HALF the current cost to replace the complete machine. That does not include the technicians labour charge if you need a repair tech.
Moral of this story is probably: don’t attempt a control board repair unless you are really experienced in such matters.
