Hi everyone, my washer developed a fault recently which I think I managed to trace to the pcb.
The motor would struggle to turn the drum in the first part of the wash cycle. The more clothes the worse it would be but worked perfectly during rinses and spins. Having eliminated a slipping belt (motor has no carbon brushes) I thought the motor was faulty. However, this morning I noticed the problem only happens when the heater element switches on and the problem starts instantly (first part of the wash) and once the element switches off the motor instantly starts working fine again.
If its a matter of changing the usual suspect on the pcb then it may be worth my time otherwise, it's the recycling depot.
I've attached a photo if it helps.
Thanks in advance.
