have you got s pic of the part ?

Dave

With resistor, I mean the part that creates hot to break the ice which is the basic idea behind the no-frost system. I am sorry I don’t have any photos.

New pump solved the problem.

Question : What sensor is used to sense low water/steam inside boiler to decide when water pump should start working ?

Don

Don thanks, but I never left water in the tank when the iron is not used.

Also, iron descaler should not help there, I ordered a new water pump. Still, I don’t know if these kinda problems are usually on steam generators.

if the sound you can hear is the water pump energising and it not pumping the water then its likely the pump has failed (unless you have a blockage)

did find service manual but may be of use

I tested the water pump on the bench. It works but it not pumps !!

I have a similar PCB in my siltal BL952 (compatible with ADP 8242 and many other models). My problem is no heating at all. After all tests I did I concluded that my PCB is fault. Relay it works fine as well as all of the PNP transistors, diodes and resistances.

I read in 2-3 forums (espacially in russian and bulgarian forums) that the problem was the three gray box capacitors. Especially the big one with 1.5 uF /270 VAC at the bottom left of the photo.

I ordered all of them and I am still wait to replace them. As soon as I have any news I will let you know.

I also opened a topic at this address when my tests where in the very beggining.

It worked like a charm !

thanx K,

When I remove the device for service, I will come back to let you know !

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors

This elica model is pretty old. Its the “Elica elislim LX WH F/60”

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors

the two motors are the same. I opened in the past to clean them, and maybe then I reversed them since i didn’t know that they are rotating differently, so I missed to mark them before that. But now I want to change them completely and I want to put them in the right way.

Anyway, i will try to find the model and I will let you know.

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors

Dear kwatt, I dont ask about part numbers but the way I should put the motors in the cooking hood. I am confused because here we have two motors that are rotating in the opposite way and the way I see it, we have to build such a condition that the two motors together they should suck air from the room in a main stream of air.

I suppose in theory at least all cooking hoods that are using two motors with a clockwise and anti-clockwise rotating directions are working with the same way…..

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors

I will check it but I am not sure that I will able to find it !

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors

Thanks but I am little confused. How to put them in the hood ?

In the left side of the cooking hood should I put the clockwise or the anti-clockwise ?

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors

Yes, right, its Elica…. I will verify them before the final purchase… but the main question is still there, what the purpose of the clockwise & anti-clockwise motors in the working process of the cooking hood ?

Re: What’s the meaning of clockwise or anti-clockwise motors

Hi,

The motos are not failed at all. I cleaned them one time but they lost their balance and make noise. I want to replace them. But the question does not concerns a failed part but in theory why we need two motors with different rotating directions and how to use them.

Re: Smeg DWI612C Possible PCB fault

It seems that the “infamous article” does not exists any more. Any change to read it somewhere ?
