REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

Electronic Module Description
The electronic module, including the uP, controls various functions and is placed in a protective housing. It is the communication interface between the user and the appliance. It consists of:
The option buttons and the multifunction display LCD.
The programselector with 15 or 21-positions.
The time display and the alarm identification.
The “Start/Pause” button.
Functions:
Taking data of the selected cycle programs through the module.
Water level control (antifoam, overflow level) in the tub; the level is recognized by the analog pressure switch.
Cycle temperature control by a NTC sensor.
Power supply of the heating element.
Power supply of the drive motor (EWM2100) and control of its speed by the tachymetric generator.
Control of the motor control board (EWM2500).
Control of water inlet valves.
Control of drain pump, circulation pump, door lock and DSP (drum self position). In case of a power failure the module saves the just paused cycle.
When the power supply to the appliance is restored again, the cycle starts where the program was paused.
Motor
The motor is directly phase-controlled via triac from the control electronics.
Relays K2, K3 are responsible for commuting the sense of rotation.
Field switching (if any) is controlled by relay K4.
Speed is monitored by tachometer generator g1 and controlled by control electronics.
Integral overheat protection disconnects the motor from power supply at 115°C
Safety
If the triac for the motor is in short-circuit, or if the tachometer generator is interrupted, 4 trials are executed in intervals of 5 minute each.
After a break of 20 minutes, the fifth and last trial is started. If the motor does not run this time, the programme is aborted.
