Servis antidisturbance filter

[acheckley]

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 placement isn't the same. The pin placement will be easy to work out. Can anyone see any problems with this?

Question 2:

I'm considering replacing the part because the plastic holders on my filter cracked. I decided to research non conductive glue. I remember from PCB restoration, to look for conductive/non conductive types and selected superglue since my aim was to glue the plastic panel and it is non-conductive. However, some glue dribbled down, round and through the left side of the anti-disturbance filter, with a little part ending up on the copper coil and the yellow left terminal leading into the caps.

Now, from my experiences, the terminals happily survived the bonding process (which is often the worry), the machine works without issue. I further did research and from what I gather, the super glue will just act as an insulator.

Should there be anything to worry about? I've attached the washing machine up to a circuit breaker just in case. I can't see any problems with this but please let me know if I am wrong.

I've been googling for a wiring example.

I've found the following photo.

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 discharge it first with an insulated screw driver. I'll then match up the leads and attach the Earth to the original back plate.

Again, this seems a logical approach. If anyone with more experience can see any fault, please let me know, or alternatively, if you think this sounds right, also please let me know.

Thanks,

Andrew

If you can't track down a spare replace it with a universal type from these chaps.

Unless the filter is heat damaged due to bad connections on the spade teminals there is no need to replace it at all. If the mountings are damaged simply attach it to the case with a couple of cable ties. Making sure of course that there can be NO movement that could lead to any of the terminals making contact with the casing. It may be wise to encase the filter in a Thick platic bag, just to be sure!!
