Re: Smeg DW1710 error lights and machine stop after draining

the PCB was £117 so I took it to Maplins (in Chester), showed it to Richard who sold me 3 capacitors and a transistor for less than a pound. Went home, unsoldered the blown ones, soldered in the new ones and the machine is currently washing dishes…result! 😀

and the answer is…the PCB is faulty 🙁 ! just taken it apart and at least 2 of the capacitors have blown but it was still working to some extent.

Re: Smeg DW1710 error lights and machine stop after draining

thanks Penguin, the machine has drained so I’m looking for the water level control and switch
I’m all switched off (don’t worry Dad was an electrician) and looking behind the drain pump at 3 possible switch devices.
1. large circular beige on the front right (3 contacts with 2 connectors on)
2. going further back a black rectangular device with 2 connectors on
3. further back behind the pump a small circular brown protruding device with 2 connectors on

Which should I be looking at? can I short it out to test it?

cheers
Will

Re: Smeg DW1710 error lights and machine stop after draining

thanks for the speedy reply but no joy,

the drain pump runs then stops, runs then stops, runs and then stops on a long beep.
No water comes in.
and the lights are back at 2 and 3 flashing with 5 constant

cheers
Will
