    Re: servis washing machine not working

    Good result paul161201!

    My M6216AL is back up and running as well. Thanks to you both for your help.

    Once I’d cleaned up my board, there turned out to be enough copper left that I could just bridge the terminals with a blob of solder!

    *Sigh* Two problems running in one thread – I wish you guys wouldn’t do that….

    Sorry, I thought my problem was so similair to paul161201’s that this would be the best place to post; I’m used to seeing people get flamed for starting a new thread unnecessarily.

    Bear in mind that these are budget appliances and there is no factory support (It was pretty laughable anyway) available, as Servis is now bust. All these machines are on borrowed time.

    To be honest, I didn’t expect to get >7 years out of this thing, so it salves my conscience slightly that it’s not off to landfill just yet. Hopefully I’ll get a few more years out of it before I have to go searching for a second hand ISE 😉

    Re: servis washing machine not working

    Hi Folks. First post on here, so please be gentle! 😉

    My 7 year old Servis M6216AL had its first breakdown last night, suffering from similair symptoms to paul161201, except the lights remained dead after changing the fuse. 😥

    After opening her up, I’ve traced the fault to the PCB’s connector block exactly as described by Penguin45. It’s a bit blackened and it actually looks like two of the spades have fused together inside the connector block.

    I’ve seen a new module advertised online for £39.90, but was wondering if anybody knows if it’s worthwhile getting out the soldering iron out to try and repair the terminals or if it would just be a waste of time? (ie if the circuit board could be fried internally)

    Any help gratefully appreciated,

    Andy.
