    Whirlpool AWO/R205 washer

    Well..... got the pcb out. Googled the part number and found 2 places that sell it at £34.99...or would if it was in stock. The cheapest price otherwise seemed to be £141 :shock: :shock: :shock: The board was pretty 'sooty' so with the possibility of saving more than a couple of quid I...

    Whirlpool AWO/R205 washer

    The smiley was cos the motor was so easy to remove :D , but am now stck as to the pcb, I assume it is an integral part of the control panel but can't see how to remove it..I've taken out two bolts on the top and three screws around the soap drawer. Possibly just afraid to use some brute force...

    P.S. when I pressed the start button on the wash cycle it immediately started trying to pump out, although the machine is empty?

    Whirlpool AWO/R205 washer

    Well did that, The heater has a continuity of 29-30 ohms across terminals, and greater than 1kohm to earth. (I can put a proper resistance meter across if required). The machine ran for about 5 sec but now only the wash (3rd from left) and service leds now lit, same on the service diagnosis...

    Whirlpool AWO/R205 washer

    Thanks I'd realised just before your post :oops: It's R4205, or 859234615008, the manual just says probably electrical......call service centre. I've since examined more closely and the wash and rinse lights are also lit (an error code?) , the pump seems to be working and I think it stops...

    Whirlpool AWO/R205 washer

    Our washer has stopped working mid wash with the 'service' light (not the pump light) lit up. Any ideas what can be wrong? Thanks

    LAPTOP CHARGERS

    Love to but can't find one the right size but anyway it's the principle. OK I have the ability to solder a new plug but 99% don't and are being RIPPED OFF as usual in Great RIPOFF Britain.

    LAPTOP CHARGERS

    For the second time in a year my daughter has destroyed the cable where it enters the plug on her laptop, (replacement transformer and cable c £44). A cable situation I'm sure most have had. WHY is it that the cable between laptop and charger is not replaceable??????? It could and SHOULD be...

    I did say MAY That will depend on cable routing and more importantly the r1/r2 and Zs readings. the length of your 'now' radial is IMPORTANT as is the length of your proposed 'alternative' ring mods please lock this

    isolators and 20A protection

    Assuming your scenario of a max 20 amp load then even substantially different lengths won't matter much (dependent on derating factors), but loading on one end of a ring does cause major problems!

    isolators and 20A protection

    As previously pointed out the two legs MUST be of the same length to use as a radial otherwise one cable will carry more current than the other. I really can't believe what I've been reading in your posts John, and you claim to be an engineer? What kind?.... so I can stay well clear of your...
