That's a very kind offer, you're a genuine gem :D

The front fascia panel looks fine with no damage. I didn't try blow drying the other components for two reasons: 1. The machine is in our warm kitchen (as opposed to cool utility room /garage) so I'm pretty sure any residual moisture would have evaporated 2. The casing of this machine...

It's a vintage 2006/07 machine so is wholly electronic, no mechanical timer There are three relays under the heatsink, and you can see the heavy tracks on the underside of the board. The heatsink itself is solely for what I thought was a power / mofset transistor but having removed the...

I think what you saw was a digital artifact, an exaggerated view of reality. The component ref is TYACS2, there was a mark on it but a quick wet oif the finger removed it so suspect it was a watermark. You were correct about R120, it's 94k ohm resistance. When i was 8 I knew all the colour...

I am trying to trace the wires from the connector that has scorched. It gous to the left rear of the machine, near the drum motor and discharge pump but because of the design of the casing with limited access I haven't been able to finish tracing them physically. I haven't been able to locate a...

You have very good eyesight....... and I suspect you have the experience yo know what exactly you are looking for. Turning to your questions It's a multi layer board, the caps I replaced used the top and bottom layers. Whether there are more layers within the board I don't know. I don't...

The sticker on the plastic cover says the following: Procond Electronics Type P.451527701 F:5684 Type E. 132225565 SW Ver W4C30127 02/Aug/06 The sticker on the heatsink has the same P number, Elux is 132225465 (slightly different) 31/06, which I guess is the week number. There is...

Well, I have an update, if I was a doctor it would be a case of the operation was a success, but the patient died. I replaced the resistor, caps and had already tested the nearby diodes I have some more photos First, the board with the resistor and caps removed, so you can see the...

I have only tested the resistors, and was going to remove the capacitors to test but decided just to replace them anyway for what they cost. What else do you suggest I try testing ?

Found 'em - knew I would as soon as I pressed send, these are the ones I think you mean http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-WATT-WIREWOUND-RESISTOR-10-OHM-82-OHM-/230891140290?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&var=&hash=item35c22f34c2#ht_365wt_1399

At the risk of being a numpty for the second time this week, I can't find the ebay item you have referenced. I tried searching by description but couldn't find the item that way either :( Would you mind checking the item number again please as it seems to be 13 charaters long rather than 12...

Thanks very much, the obvious answer was the right one then. :) I was going to order these http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/through-hole-fixed-resistors/4851789/ or these http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/through-hole-fixed-resistors/0151732/ but notice that the voltage rating is only 100v. I...

Bringing this old thread back to life as I too have made the "classic mistake", and feel such a numpty for doing so. :oops: The drain tube from the filter got pulled off by my gf and I tipped the machine onto its right hand side to fix the tube back. As a precaution after cleaning up the...

That's great, thanks, some responses to your points The values are for the three separate elements which are within each ring; This is how I think the hob works.............. Each of the rings has four electrical connections, which I believe are for three separate feeds for three...

Ah, I wasn't perhaps as clear as I intended. I was simply checking that there was no internal short at the mains connector block when the hob switches were in the off position. (i.e there should be no circuit so no continuity. My next test was to check the resistance L / N for each ring as...
