Are IGBTs FETs? I'm confused! I thought they were a cross between bipolar transistors and FETs.
I like disassembly
I have the same problem. I just opened the same part, but the disc is fully intact. Still not cooling 🤷♂️
Thanks, very well informed video information, I ordered a new relay thing, very cheap, and it worked, my daughter was delighted when I got it going and we saw the temp going down to chill her bottles of Prosecco etc Cheers !
Thanks, new CMC was leaking, just realized that this seal was stuck in the old one..
10:18 oh my word! You can see the lovely 90° bends on the autorouted traces of that PCB from afar. The electrons will be zinging past these sharp corners hahaha Sacrilegious!
What's the screwdriver type to open it 😊. I know it is triangle head but what size
hello, where can i buy this?
WARNING: this boards came WITHOUTH thermal paste, also needs a fan to cool the dissipator, and also the chips need to be isolated with mica or something like that (i think the blue paint acts like isolator)
Thanks, you just saved me a ton of money, I've already had my dryer apart one with suggestions of fluff in the machine, despite vacuuming it I kept getting the eh0 error, I've been switching off the machine and then it got to the point where it wouldn't start. Once I had a look at the pcb, I could clearly see cracked solder joints on two of the relays. The surface mount soldering was poor quality, I didn't touch that, but reflowing the joints sorted the problem and now I should get another eight years out of what was an expensive top end dryer when I bought it....
Where can I buy the ic 337a 21-1 ?
I have the US version of this machine designed for 110v but was connected to 220v socket and stopped working. Which part do I need to replace to have it fixed?

Have you fully retired now ?
Great video, exactly the same problem on my AEG dryer (same model). I was about to order a new one, you have saved me hundreds of pounds. Thanks
Hello man, i had exactly the same problem, i replaced it and now i have an error,on tester says the step 2 of fan doesn't work and i cheked it,it works pretty good,i don t know what to do.
Which tester says step 2 doesn't work. You mean an ODB code reader or?
Can you let me know why it connects to the Bluetooth and plays for few seconds and gets disconnected
No, not a usual fault, could be a problem with the dock or with one or more of the 40 springs contacts under the docking module. Make sure the dock works properly. The power quite often resets if there is a blown amp chip in the dock. When it powers up to drive the bass speaker the power cuts out and the system resets the DC supply to the cradle area,
Perfect machine fixed
Great news. Thanks for watching.
I just spent an hour wicking and sucking a pin header I melted and was about to toss the board when I found this video. 10 minutes later and the socket was out. Thank you!
Great job. Wicking and sucking sucks!!! Thanks for watching.
Wow, great job. I'll try to recall the procedure next time I come across a situation like this. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, my CTEK MXS 10 has stopped working, it was an unscrewable one, early production according to CTEK. They've told me it's broken. So I took it apart and can see all the info you require. The part you've asked for says ICE3B0565J, then H1652L2B, then XK612051X03. I can also read the ident on the other parts that were scrubbed in your video. Is there someway I can contact you other than this comment section. I'd like to get my charger fixed if possible, I hate just chucking stuff away.
Thanks for the info. i don’t have a lot of time to spare these days as i am working on new designs. if you aren’t in a hurry then email me at ark.mail@gmx.com
Hey Tony Trying to get through to you regarding this motor thing
sorry I have been on my hols. ark.mail@gmx.com Gear motors are in stock.
Thank you for this video - I have the part but CANNOT work out how to get the black cover detached from the compressor! Please can someone help?!
It has been a while. From memory, the one I had just clipped off. If you cant see any screws then lever it gently with a screwdriver.
Fantastic fault finding, how do i contact you for service ?
I am pretty tied up working on new designs. What do you have that reqiures service?
I only get the code if I plug it into a extension cable it works perfectly plugged into the wall socket?
You could have bad earth continuity or a bad connection somewhere in the extension lead. Extension needs to be a quality 3-core minimum 1.5 square millimeter (13A) type. Try a different extension. If you get the same fault then you might have a controller in the process of failing...
Brilliant - same problem on my AEG and easy fix (once you’d explained). Buying a soldering iron was a lot cheaper than replacing the machine. Thank you 👏🏻
Great news. Long may it wash your socks... A great machine with one big design problem... Thanks for watching.
Thank you! It did fix my fan but I noticed the black foam inside crumbled. What’s the purpose of the black foam? Do I need to replace it?
The foam is likely there to deaden the resonance of that housing to make it quieter. i find it disappointing that PU foam is still used. I understand that it is attacked by ozone. Thanks for watching.
Hi, Im trying to fire it up from a variac , and around 100v(240v model) makes a weird noise like a transformer.. an im cared to get to 240 v ...
Have you a center-tapped transformer to derive a dual rail supply. . You need a bridge rectified and with positive and negative feeds and the CT line form the Transformer connected to OV on the amp.
Need to convert soundtouch 30 from 110v to 220v will the same method work or is there a change ? Pls guide .. thx 😊
Yes, the schematic of the power section is the same. There is a resistor that passes the start up voltage connected to D501 (from memory). It is a different value on the 220V version. It needs to be increased. If a 5A fuse is fitted (not all are) the amp rating of the main fuse needs to be reduced to 4A . Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the video (as well as the other one). Do you know if there are models without that relay? my wire go from the power supply pcb to the water sensor relay to the heater.
Not sure. All the Mielas I have worked on have the seperate power relay located near the bottom of the machine. Have you got a schematic of your machine?
@@razenby There is a PCB on the bottom right side with 2 10A SCHRACK PB900002 relays which replaces the top controller and relay box. found them on ebay, have to swap them now
Blimey, it's like hearing my own voice and thought patterns! Excellent.
Thanks for watching.
Bravo apparently there are quite a few videos which talk about this problem.... The trick is to have the equipment to be able to do the same thing which is not at all obvious, would you have by chance put set up a small business selling aluminum washers MDR in any case well done !!! Bravo apparemment il y a pas mal de vidéos qui parlent de ce problème.... Le truc et d'avoir le matériel pour pouvoir faire la même chose ce qui n'est pas du tout évident est-ce que par hasard vous auriez mis en place un petit commerce de vente de rondelles d'aluminium MDR en tout cas bravo !!!
Thanks. I sell the gear motors at cost for anyone who needs one. I sell a few per week. used to sell just the metal pinion gears but it was easy to damage the motor housing whilst pressing the gear on so I got some Mutaba gear motor assemblies made in Taiwan . .
Thanks for this informative vid. I agree with U about how disgraceful it is to have to throw to landfill. You inspired me to have a go replacing the brushes, so if anyone needs tips on that and the specs... czcams.com/video/IF30z4yjNVI/video.htmlfeature=shared Thanks again
Thanks. That is useful.
60MOhm leak to Earth at 220-240V is not enough to trip a domestic RCD. It's 0.0000036A or 0.0036mA. You need 30mA to trip a domestic RCD. That reading doesn't indicate an element failure to me?
It is the distinction between failure and leakage. There should be no leakage and the fact that there is indicates there is a fault in the element. The conductive path should not be there. It is an indication that when this thing gets hot it is much more likely to cause a short to ground. In a domestic situation with a singe RCD in a consumer unit protecting the whole or part of a wiring system, the 30mA leakage current limit for is not the limit for a single appliance . It is cumulative across appliances. I have often been called to Ghost RCD tripping where no single appliance is to blame for random trips.
Worked a treat!;) thankyiu
You're welcome! Glad it was useful. I love my machine!!!
Is there a fuse inside?
Likely yes. But to be honest I cant remember. If the fuse blows then invariably the electronics are toast.
@@razenby I’ve used it 4 times and it’s fairly new.
I got the first model of the MX5 (1049) and it's better constructed. This newer (and more expensive, fancy that!) version is obviously built as cheap as possible, The 1049 model of the MX5 have several filter coils on the primary side, MOV, diodes and resistors are through hole. A lot more going on to protect the charger. Larger cooling plates. Whole layout is different. 1049 also has a large silicon gasket which seals it from water ingress completely. Only thing functionally different is that the 1049 only has 4 programs, you can't combine small battery with recond for example. Being a Swede I actually tried to call and talk to the company because I had some technical questions, but they were totally uninterested in any "normal" customer contact. I got 2 newer models of the MX5, I'll have to take a look inside those too. I've been using mostly the more expensive MX5 Polar (-30C model) for the last couple of years and it's still working good, but huge thanks for this great video which will help immensely if I run into problems!
Thanks, For all that I believe they are a vastly overpriced unreliable design.
Hi, really enjoyed your video and creative repair of the milk frothed but how do you check the thyristor and where do I get a replacement thermocouple? Thanks for the videos which are great.
Thanks for watching. The parts are available on Aliexpress.com
I’m having a similar issue, car has overheated and I’ve realised that the radiator fan isn’t working as it is usually constantly running when the A/C is on and it now isn’t. I’ve also had the engine up to temperature and the fan still won’t kick in. I’ve tested the relay and can hear it clicking so presume that’s okay. I’ve got 14v to the connector for the fan motor when the engine is running. So I believe it to be the fan motor. I bought a fan from a breakers. Put 12v to it and it worked so I fitted it. It worked for about 5 minutes before it stopped working. I did all the same tests again and they were all fine, presumed faulty fan from the breakers. Took the fan out and when connecting 12v to it, it runs, but it doesn’t run well. I went and got another fan motor from U-PULL-IT as I wanted to test whether this would act the same and it does. The fan will run with 12v from a battery but won’t run when in the car. The fan blades turn freely and aren’t restricted. The plug looks fine so the power is definitely getting there. Any thoughts?
It sound most likely that you have a sticky or intermittent relay or an intermittent break in the wiring . Easy to overcome by trial. Run a fused wire to the fan and a switch to check the fan itself is reliable if you establish that change the relay and run a new wires for the relay and feed wires to the fan. Have you checked the ECT with an ODB reader. Could it be the temperature sensor messing with you?
@@razenby thank you for your response! I’ll do what you’ve suggested and I may as well get a new relay and temp sensor and go from there!
Thanks for this video! For a while, I thought I was me doing something wrong! I bought xw6 and hbd366 rolls, they were all melting at lead free temp 😮 My intended use for it was to make lead free desoldering more easy. Now, I'm thinking of buying bismuth sticks.
If you want to make lead free desoldering easier then just add some 60/40 leaded flux core solder to the joint. It considerably lowers the melting point and renders it very workable. Don't forget a good iron makes all the difference. I run with a Weller as in my experience it can deliver a lot of power to the tip.
Do you still have a spare?
No sorry. I used to supply them but just got inundated with questions. You can buythe parts on Aliexpress
Did you bother locking the flywheel for when you torque the crank back down?
Yes- see video - I took the starter out and locked the flywheel with a locking tool. The problem with the ford is the TDC flywheel pin that screws in from the back of the block is very thin and easily bent. If you can get a socket on the crank pulley bolt you might be able to get away with using an impact driver without the ring gear locking tool fitted. Good luck. The most important thing to remember is to hand crank over and check the timing is correct before you start the engine..

Legend! Exact same problem. Fixed within 24 hours with a part from Amazon.
Thanks for watching. Mine has seen many hours of shredding action but it is still soldiering on. However, It is starting to sound a yang, yang, yang so time to open it up and grease the gears again!! Actually my wife said it sounded Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum and now that is all I can hear when I use it.
I have exactly the same issue and it was really helpful (and entertaining) to see this video. You mentioned that you have parts available and I'd love to be able to purchase the 47ohm resistor and the Power Integrations chip from you. Is this still possible?
Yes, sorry for late replay - I was on vacation. ark.mail@gmx.com
Hello and thanks! I build speakers and can't stand those connectors. I will only solder the wires directly to the driver's tabs once the final assembly is made. Are JBL even doing any soak testing to identify potential problems like this?
I don't believe do very much design testing at all. Talking RMS voltages: The products work much better more reliably 120V mains not to bad on continental 230V (which usally runs at around 220V by the way). However the UK typically has about 245V and a lower supply impedance and so is able to deliver a much higher in rush surge when powering up.. The peak voltage when rectified to the SMPS B+ rail is 1.41x25V = 35 DC volts higher and when you add a transient on top of that ......
I've got an old Zanussi Electrolux ZDF 231 S which has for the first time, just started to trip the RCD in the consumer unit, so I shall bear in mind what you have said and go exploring the cause, good advice, thank you.
Good luck.
@razenby Just suffered the same problem - tripped the RCD. Do you have any more heating element imports left and are you still maintaining these systems all these years later? Please could you drop me an email so I can contact directly? Thanks!
Hi Simon yes I am still maintaining them in the flats that I own. ark.mail@gmx.com
