EWF1090 says no...


Groan... the washing machine has died. This particular machine doesn't get a very good rap here. Has been quite good for a while but looks suspiciously like the repair bill will massively exceed the cost of a new machine and that is even if I source the parts myself! This board (451527003), apparently has a fault and seems that if the door latch fails the solenoid driver then toasts the main supply... Hmm that is suspiciously like what has happened here! A part on the other side of the board, which seems to be the solenoid driver, looks a bit sad... Well the engineer that built in the obsolesce factor got it pretty much spot on.. I suppose we move on to see if LG are any better then Electrolux?
