Recently my washing machine, for the second time behave completely strange.

Based on the information I got from the manufacturer already last time and observation I made, I opened the machine to check these things.

However this requires quite some work. First I need to remove the cabinet left to the washing machine. Then I have to remove the holder specifically made for my washing machine. (This stainless steel rubber padded construction fixed the machine at 4 points.) Next the removal of water supply and waste water hose is needed to turn the machine 180 deg.

It turned out that again the R19 resistor burned. I don’t know why this happens but assume that a voltage spike from the generator causes this problem.

Last time, the helpful manufacturer’s Managing Director and Sales Manager send me at manufacturing cost a new PCB and additionally oneresistor R19 and one capacitor next to the R19. I got this 2 simple things replaced at the Maintenance Marquises Services because my gas driven soldering iron did not get hot enough. Result the PCB, thus my washing machine work again. Gosh, I’m happy!

Now, I asked R-FIN, the Czech Republic manufacture to specify me a voltage spike filter to be added to prevent the damage of the R19 resistor.

I really enjoyed the test run yesterday. Hanging the clean laundry at the reeling to dry was a pleasure.
