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.

LOCKING RING, ELEMENT PLATE & MOTOR ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

  • Remove the wiring cover and disconnect and remove the tub.
  • Unplug the motor wiring harness from the electronic controller.
  • While lifting the tab on the locking ring as shown, rotate the ring anti-clockwise until it comes free of tub tabs.
  • Take care not to damage any motor wiring as the locking ring is turned (refer picture).
  • This also releases the motor housing from the locking ring.
  • Holding the pump housing on the motor assembly lift the locking ring, heating plate and motor clear of the tub.
  • The suction pipe of the drain molding will slide out of the tub drain area.
  • You may now lift the locking ring clear of the motor assembly. This will allow the heater plate and motor assembly to come apart
  • Be careful of the two large ‘O’ rings which seal between the motor assembly and heater plate and the heater plate and tub, these and the tub sealing area must be clean and put in the correct place before reassembly takes place.
  • Check both the drain cuff ‘O’ ring and suction pipe ‘O’ ring for deformation and damage. Lubricate and if necessary replace ‘O’ rings before reassembly.
  • Reassemble in reverse manner ensuring all locking ring tabs are engaged.



LID REMOVAL
  • On the right-hand side of the lid release the two tabs that clip the lid to the yoke. Repeat for the left-hand side.
  • The lid is now free to slide out of the chassis.
  • Refit in the reverse manner taking care that the lid is fitted the correct way around. The front is indicated on the top of the lid.


YOKE REMOVAL
  • Release the lid actuator connecting arm from the bottom of the yoke by squeezing the two tabs towards each other.
  • Slide the front of the yoke downwards at an angle until it moves out of the track in the rear of the trim, and is clear of the chassis flange.
  • Refit in the reverse manner taking care that the yoke is the correct way around.


LID ACTUATOR REMOVAL
  • For top tub lid actuators the bottom tub must also be removed to gain access to the lid actuator wiring harness.
  • Release the lid actuator connecting arm from the bottom of the yoke by squeezing the two tabs towards each other.
  • Remove the cover from the chassis module as explained in
  • Disconnect the appropriate lid actuator wiring harness from the chassis circuit board and unclip the wiring harness back to the lid actuator.
  • For a right-hand lid actuator carefully release the clip at the back of the lid actuator and slide the lid actuator towards the rear of the chassis to release it from the slide rail.
  • For a left-hand lid actuator the clip is at the front of the lid actuator and once released the lid actuator will slide towards the front of the chassis to release it from the slide rail.
  • The lid actuator can now be removed.
  • When reconnecting a lid actuator to a yoke it is recommended to have the lid and yoke assembly pushed hard up against the upper stops. To line up correctly, the lid actuator connecting arm screw may need to be wound up or down manually prior to clipping to the yoke. Care needs to be taken when working on a lower tub that the lid and yoke assembly don’t accidentally get fitted above the upper stops.  Note; it is important that all the clips on the lid actuator case are done up and that none are broken.



SIDE RAIL REPLACEMENT
  • Remove the lid actuator from the slide rail as per instructions.
  • Bottom slide rails only. The lower plastic chassis trim must be removed to gain access to the screws securing the front of the slide rail. Remove the two hex drive screws securing the slide runner at the front.
  • Tap the slide rails from underneath at the front.  This will knock the slide rail up and free from its location in the chassis.
  • The slide runner may now be pulled forward to release it from its location in the rear of the chassis.

  • Carefully lift the left-hand end of the circuit board up and then to the left taking care not to damage the flood sensor


WATER VALVE REMOVAL
  • Remove the chassis module cover.
  • Disconnect the wiring connections to both solenoid coils. Release the locking tabs for the connectors with a blade screwdriver while doing this.
  • Disconnect the inlet hose connection.
  • You can now slide the water valve up out of its mounting bracket.
  • Disconnect the two fill hoses off the valve noting which hose goes to the top and tub and which goes to the bottom tub.


FILL HOSE - DRAIN HOSE - WIRING HARNESS REPLACEMENT
  • From the tub end disconnect the component you need to replace (fill hose, drain hose, wiring harness).
  • Remove the relevant component from each of the three link clips and the chassis clips holding it.
  • Do this one at a time marking its position at each clip in the link and closing each clip after the component is removed to keep the other two components clipped in the correct position.
  • The component can now be disconnected from the chassis end and removed.



  • Mark the position of the link support clips on the fill hose, drain hose and harness.
  • Undo the clips and remove the link support.
  • Fit the new link support.
  • Check the clips are in the same position as the original. The wire ties on the wiring harness need to be located inside the clips
  • If they are not, it could prevent the tub from closing fully, which may cause the product to “Pause” part way through the cycle, or the link support may interfere with and reset the latch while the Drawer is closing.

TOE KICK REMOVAL
  • Partly open bottom drawer.
  • Loosen the right and left hand toe kick screws.
  • Slide the toe kick towards the front of the tub until it comes of the mounting rails.

LOWER CUB COWLING
  • Release the center clip as shown and slide the cowling forward.

FOOT TRIM REPLACEMENT
  • First remove both the left and right hand yokes as per instructions.  This is to prevent damaging the locating tab at the front of each yoke which fits into the trim.
  • The trim has to be removed by breaking the retaining clips.
  • This can be done by slipping a blade screwdriver between the trim and the chassis and twisting the blade to snap the clips. Protect the cabinet from chipping and remove the broken clips so they don’t fall in to the tub and damage the rotor.
  • Check that a light prism is fitted in to the trim.
  • Remove the drawer front and handle as per instructions so the replacement trim can be fitted over the tub.
  • Line up the clips on the replacement trim with the holes in the chassis and push home.


WATER SOFTENER
  • Disconnect the Wiring Loom connections to the Water Softener Diverter valve, Brine pump and Salt Level Detector and remove the Dispenser Wiring Loom connection to the Electronic Controller.
  • Use a flat bedded screwdriver to open the Salt Level Indicator LED cover and remove the LED from the Water Softener.
  • Unclip the Fill Hose and the Dispenser Hose form the Water Softener.
  • Remove the 4 T10 torx drive screws securing the Water Softener to the Tub
  • The Water Softener can now be removed from the Product
  • To refit, place the Overflow O’ring on the Water Softener and lubricate the Tub overflow with a water soluble lubricant e.g Glycerol or similar.
  • Place the Salt Tank O’ring in the tub. Lubricate the Salt Tank flange on the Water Softener.
  • Pass the Dispenser Wiring Loom through the Water Softener and plug it into the Electronic Controller.
  • Place the Water Softener in the Tub and apply enough pressure to seat the O’rings.  The Overflow should sit almost flush with the inside of the Tub.  The Salt Tank should be recessed by approx. 1mm from the inside of the Tub.
