Here is the item number on ebay- 321169459048 I paid £56 for a new in its box V9 controller. £24 for just the transformer seems awfully expensive. I would have expected around £8 inc delivered for such a small transformer.

I cannot find them, have you got a link please?

There are lots of new, used and refurbished PCB I know, but did you mean transformers?

I enjoy a challenge :)

No problem, glad it worked for you - even at that distance. Ours has given no trouble since then, so its a pretty reliable machine apart from the PCB, or rather this one cap..

This is the orange cased 174486 version. Apologies for ressurecting an old thread, but our 5.5 year old boiler suffered the same fate last week. The transformer had shown indications of over heating and the primary winding was o/c. Its potted, so the guess is that it has a thermal fuse inside...

I don't know the fine details, but generally a condensing drier works as follows... The moist air from the drum, is drawn through a duct with a heater inside it, the heater element prevented from over heating by a thermal trip switch. that part would seem to be working, if the clothes are...

I was the OP and my repair is still holding up fine. The original batch of capacitors might have been faulty, but equally the voltage specification of the part might have been too low - which was why I suggested the 10volt part be replaced with a 16v item. Manufacturers do use their...

No problem, problem fixed - just thought it worth pointing out an alternative fault for the LF error.

Mmmm, I would have liked to have seen a registered engineer fix the gap on this one without breaking it :-)

This might save someone a little time.... Installed two years ago and has not been serviced since then. Started to need the reset button to be used more and more frequently, some ignition sequences resulted in a thump as it ignited, then it finally started to show an LF fault several...

Sorry I don't have any photo facilities, but the plugs will only go on one way so it is fairly obvious what goes where.

Glad everyone is finding the fix useful :D My assumption was that the original voltage rating of the part was under rated, hence its being such a common failure - so I suggested to use 16v rather than the original 10v rating. 1000uF is fine - this type of capacitor is not made to...

The machine does not care which way round it is connected, it works fine either way, but you will. Neutral is at earth or ground potential and connected to ground either at your cut out or at the sub-station. In the UK the switches only switch off the Live, so if polarity is reversed, the...

Well done :) It might be worth your while checking the rest of the sockets, especially the ones directly adjacent to that one in the ring circuit.

Could be due to several problems, but it needs to be properly checked out... 1. A poor or no earth meant the casing was live. 2. The switch at the socket was faulty - live all the time. 3. L and N were swapped over at the back of the socket, meaning the N would have been turned off, but...

You are welcome - Happy to be able to help :-) Of course if the manufacturer had paid the penny extra cost for the bit of plastic button to reset it (the trips come in two versions), there would have been no need to mess about drilling the hole....

The cap had just a slight doming to its alloy top, sometimes failure can show as the rubber seal at the other end being pushed out slightly. If there is a castrotrophic failure they can split and explode. Others can fail with no obvious external signs of their failure. C17 is in the centre...

A rather late answer, but it might help someone.... Isolate the supply and remove the top cover (two screws at the rear and then slide it towards the rear). In the top of the alloy duct is a temperature control and an over temperature trip switch. It also has an heater element and a fan in...

30 month old. Fault - worked fine sometimes, all lights flashing sometimes, sometimes failing in mid program. Several sites suggested it was the main PCB at fault. I decided to take a good look at the PCB first, rather than chase a replacement. Round the back of the machine, you remove a...
