Failed repair attempt on a BSH dishwasher 9000 683 387 power board (TNY264GN) (#P49)

Here’s something unusual for today: A failed repair attempt. Well, the patient is technically alive again, but very very sick and needs replacement. But he’s currently in a working state as a proof-of-concept

This PCB is from a work colleague, it’s not from my dishwasher. The “MELECS 9000 683 387” branded power board seems to be a major failure point in some BSH appliances (Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau, Neff, Constructa, maybe even Thermador, Balay, Pitsos and Profilo if these sub-brands of BSH sell dishwashers, I didn’t check).

Siemens WT44W162 iQ300/iQ500 dryer front door (WHL #109)

Here’s a super quick, simple, clean PSA: The bottom front cover of a Siemens WT44W162 that covers the fan and some air ducts…

…is held in by these clips:

Good fucking luck with that.

Of course there’s no such thing as a quick PSA on this blog.

First of all, there are nine breakable plastic clips that need to be depressed simultaneously in a careful manner, which will not happen on any unit that needs the front removed (mine’s mid-2016 vintage now, 429€ + 35€ shipping and installation). […]

Bosch (BSH) spare part packaging (#R24)

Hey Bosch!

Very recently, I repaired the induction cooktop of a former coworker. Bosch/Schott branded (PXV995DC1E?), large 90×50 field with 5+2 zones, somewhat on the more expensive side of things, but likely also available from the other BSH brands like Siemens, Neff, or Constructa. The fault was a partially unresponsive touchy-feely interface, and since those cooktops do not have separate hardware buttons and knobs, it’s a bit of a problem when more and more buttons die. Especially the one that turns everything on and off, but also heating on full throttle all the time isn’t very helpful. […]
