Induction Hob

[Onoff]

Nothing to do with me

Whoops, sorry @RaceDiagnostics ! You both start with an R!

 

[angellonewolf]

got it fitted yet ?

Nope, running errands, grabbing FB bargains and playing dad's taxi.

 

[RaceDiagnostics]

Yes, pretty much any thermal paste will be good. By the way I keep saying regulator when in mean rectifier.

 

[Onoff]

Fitted the new bits. Did as advised and left the original legs on the board. Never thought I'd say my welding is better than my soldering but there you go. Had to fire up the 25W iron as the old CS18 struggled a bit.

Went to put the lid back on and realised I'd not ordered a new 20A fuse!

Other than 20A/250VP it's also got "326" written on one of the end caps. It's white, like ceramic...HRC or something?

 

[RaceDiagnostics]

Mine had a blown fuseable link on the PCB, I shorted it out with a bit wire. Was willing to do it to get it working rather than trying to fit a fuse.

 

[Onoff]

I've ordered some slow blow 32mm fuses off of Amazon. The "326" seems to indicate that.

bit of tin foil would do it as it was in a chop saw i had a few days ago

i sorted that quick and put a new plug on as well

I had one similar in a welder and soldered a piece of fuse wire to the caps as a stop gap. I bet it's still in there.

5 new fuses coming tomorrow.

5 new fuses coming tomorrow.

Complete lack of confidence in your work then, you should only need one (joking)

 

[dobbslc]

Yeah fit one, it goes bag, skip the lot.

hes working on the idea if you got a spare you wont need them as soon as you cant find them it will go wrong again

 

[Onoff]

Things WERE looking good

After replacing the 4 above components, I just fitted a new fuse. It all came to life...

SWMBO tried the rings in turn just to boil a pan of water. The left hand ones worked fine. She then went to try the top right. In her words there was a big bang / flash she saw through the glass. The RCBO tripped. The new 20A fuse though hasn't blown.

Debating whether to just disconnect that top right induction coil and leave it out?

 

[Onoff]

Or.....just disconnect the whole rhs "for now"?

 

[RaceDiagnostics]

 

[Onoff]

Reckon this could be the replacement board but not at that price. New hob time!

 

[brightspark]

most stuff isnt even worth bothering with unless you want to spend hours of time and money and try to get it going and chance getting nowhere

i get called out to rcd.s tripping regular .washing machines toasters kettles tumble dryers dishwashers cookers ovens hobs the full works find which ones causing the fault and disconect . get paid for the time and im off all i say theres an earth fault on it scrap it or get someone out to look at it and that will cost you at least a 50 quid callout just to be told it aint worth repairing

All RCBO here. Much easier to diagnose.
