Re: Whirlpool S20B RSB21-A/G (858615115001)
sounds like a faulty front board, be aware that on a lot of occasions you need to replace along with the back board, a lot of times the primary cause has been overheating when user does not clean vent at front regularly, usually you hear lots of clicking from back board for a while before actual failure
Re: Whirlpool AKM 995/BA/01 induction hob
E5 is either a low voltage problem or faulty eeprom in the filter pcb, check voltage, if ok the filter board is faulty and that is over £700 with vat, also most of these units now need the induction boards changing as well as they have changed many of the plugs and harnesses, either way if not down to low voltage then it’s a write off
Re: Bosch Dishwasher Recall
That was my point, if you read correctly I illuded to that very point at the end of the bit yoiu copied from my former post, hence the “clearly not the issue”
All I have done is answer the original question re supply and why they gave him the answer they did, the latter was merely that any boards I’ve seen badly burnt were from poor installations merely as martin had thrown that one in.Re: Bosch Dishwasher Recall
Hi Dave, would be very interested to know what actual voltage you experience in and around Dublin, whilst the UK officially changed it’s nominal voltage to 230V/400v +/-10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} in 2003 to come in line with European directives it has on the whole remained at 240/415V +6/-10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}, with averages up to 243v at the socket, essentially the changes were made on paper, the grid system in Eire is different to uk, but is linked to the UK as are France etc for the purpose of selling and receiving supplies, I understand the average is around 230V in Eire, the directive allows for supply to be 230V +/- 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} (207 to 253V)but it is the average at the outlet that has seemingly been the cause for concern, you are in a better position than me at this point to ascertain what voltage you have at the socket over there, I can’t ever remember seeing less than 240V at a socket outlet here, but as I’ve never seen it over 253V either that is why we still keep our system.
And whilst I have seen some very badly burnt and distorted boards, the extreme cases are usually on built in machines with badly fitted doors that allow moisture to form on the edge connectors and loom and therefore cause a short, this would not be limited to BSH products, rather anything with an ingress of steam / moisture to live components, this is clearly not the issue with the recall as they are only replacing the pcb’s.
Would be interesting though to get some feedback from various parts of Ireland re voltage just to confirm / dispel this informationRe: Baumatic BDW15 Salt Not Being Used
Either faulty harness, regeneration unit or pcb, at the end of program the solenoid valve on the regen unit opens for a short time and flushes saline solution through the bead chamber to de calcify it, so need to check valve and the continuity of its harness back to pcb, if they are both ok then pcb not putting supply to unit
Re: Bosch Dishwasher Recall
Doesn’t apply in Ireland as your supply is around 230V, we should have changed over in the UK to the same over 2 years ago, however this has still not been actioned and we average between 240 – 243V and this has been identified as the problem, also this was a voluntary recall and to my knowledge no actual instances of fire have been reported in the UK, just signs of overheating solder joints to heating relay often with charred marks on the pcb and its case
Re: Baumatic BWD1300
Just had one other thing to check, look at the pressure switch harness, I once had one with several visits by other engineers replacing module after module and found one of the wires burnt out at F1 but still looked ok at first glance, have a good tug at them, you may find the same
Re: Connect Prices
Happens all the time, the full price from BSH is only £129.40 plus vat, plus if you are trade you will get 15{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} discount of the price even without an account, with an account your discount depends on spend, however that makes it £109.99 plus vat from the manufacturer, you would pay carriage though, always check prices with manufacturers where possible
Re: Baumatic BWD1300
Its a very basic machine, do an insulation test, if ok check harness especially behind mains filter, to dryer unit and on rail on back to motor etc, if you see no breaks etc, assuming it was filling to correct level, I would suspect module, on that machine the module tells the timer to advance as well as controlling motor, part number is X546060200H8, it’s also a old Servis module H8 type part number 546060200
Re: Bauknecht GSF7199 F4 Fault
F4 is a pumping related fault, either pump or outlet are blocked, pump o/c or if straight away and no water present in sump then the DPC (diaphram switch) may need replacing, can sometimes clean with very hot water, I use a big syringe and clear them, its inside the sump on right hand side, if cleaning doesn’t work then will have to replace
Re: Baumatic BDW13
E3 is usually caused simply by the non resettable stat going oc due to overheat, this is the one at rear right when viewed from front, ensure the element is not scorched and arms and filters are not blocked, also circ pump can sieze or capacitor fail which will also give same problem, later models also have a pressure sensor in top arm feed tube base (referred to as a “place setting” )
Re: baumatic bfe256ss (chinesey) f/f – E3 on freezer
E3 is a failure of the defrost thermistor, normally a bad connection on the pcb, wont usually affect the freezer cooling as temp sensor failure in freezer is E2.
If not a loose connection on the pcb the defrost thermistor is not accessible as it is foamed into the rear liner, therefore to replace would mean digging out the insulation and then refoaming, not practical, also currently no part number available.
All the sensor connections are on block X1 along with the door switch
