I agree, I've had something similar before and re-soldered the track. I got lucky, machine worked fine.

Hi, I had the same problem. I pulled out the filter and could see the element caked in limescale. Probably not the best method but I sprayed descaler inside several times until the limescale became easier to remove, then chipped off a chunk of the limescale with a flat headed screw driver...

I've been googling for a wiring example. I've found the following photo. http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/3711/galina-sinkova.1/0_3c675_d48b7f6e_XL.jpg My plan will be that I'll keep using the machine. If the part goes wrong. I'll replace it. Being as it's a capacitor, I'll need to...

Hi everyone. After looking at the board, I noticed that the tracks had blown from one area to another. Therefore, I've decided to solder new tracks. I'm pleased to say that this has worked. I bought some appliance wire from Maplin and joined the missing tracks. After slotting the board...

Hi everyone, Question 1: I'm looking at replacing the servis antidisturbance filter. However, my model looks different to the model found in the replacement part websites/ebay. The HF rating 25/100/21 is the same and all the sites state that it will fit my M6011. However, the pin...

Hi, I've located the problem. The motherboard has a bit of burning on the back. Looks fixable. I want to get the board off to one of the companies that repair the boards. All of the cables have come out except the data cable connecting to the front panel. Does anyone know how to remove these...

Ah, actually, it's not the power module as such, its a little device towards the top of the machine where the power-line comes into the machine.

Thanks, I'll have a look around. I'm not quite a beginner with electronics but I've always stayed away from capacitors. Other than the main board, are there any others I should watch out for? I have two leads with discolouration near the device for the power module. Looks like a little...

Hi, I bought it second hand. I'm not so worried about the parts, since QER repair PCB's quite cheaply (found on ebay) and I've seen other reasonably priced parts around the internet. I'd like to follow the PCB route if I can get enough information. Judging by the powering off and power light...

Hi everyone. I bought a Servis M6011 washing machine and used it twice an now it has stopped working. It exhibited the following symptoms: Start --> Fill --> Stop Power On --> Spin --> power lights flicker --> Stop Power On --> Spin --> power lights flicker --> Stop and full...
