I took the PCB out (so fiddly!) and this is what one component at the back looks like. It’s covered in soot. Does it look like it’s burned out?

Grrr, again can’t upload pictures, please see the original link to photos, I added it there.

I’ve only just had a chance to have a proper look at this. It’s not looking great, several tracks look blown, see attached pictures. Also some blackening around some tracks although those tracks themselves don’t look blown.

Is it even worth looking further at this? Can the tracks be repaired, by soldering a piece of wire to bridge the blown part?

I couldn’t attach pictures as they’re over the allowed file size, please have a look here:

Many thanks!

Thank you, I’ll have a look.

Hi Dave,

Many thanks for such a prompt reply.

I’m sorry, as I’m not an expert on this, could you please explain a little further. Is the timer a component in the motor? Where are these tracks I should be looking at?

Very grateful for your help.

Vlad.
