I already have to repair 2 tumble dryers and a dishwasher. The breakdown is simple, you have power until the main board and then no power on the dashboard. When you call a repairman, they give you a quote of 200 euros to replace the main board. On the main board you will see a broken resistor. This resistor is connected to the LinkSwitch, a very low power AC-DC power converter. This resistor is used as a fuse for the LinkSwitch. If the LinkSwitch dies, the resistor is blown and the rest of the board stay safe. <figure id=\"attachment_mmd_1029\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maximilien-charlier.be\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSCF6571.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/maximilien-charlier.be\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSCF6571.jpg\" class=\"attachment-900x683 size-900x683\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" align=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>The repair is simple. We just need to replace the link switch and the resistor. The link switch can be removed using a rework station (at 300\/350\u00b0C) and some flux.

This resistor needs to be &#8220;anti surge&#8221; and flameproof has it is used as a fuse. In my case I have used a 3\u00a0W resistor that seems bigger than the replaced one (2\u00a0W). To check if the new LinkSwitch works, we need to check if there is no short cut between the pins 5 and 7 (the pin around the missing pin). A value between 0 and 100 Ohm is considered as a shortcut. Take the time to check the continuity to avoid replacing again the resistor if the new LinkSitwch is bad.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_mmd_1033\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maximilien-charlier.be\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSCF6594.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/maximilien-charlier.be\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSCF6594.jpg\" class=\"attachment-900x683 size-900x683\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" align=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/maximilien-charlier.be\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/datasheet-lnk304gn.pdf\">datasheet-lnk304gn<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tout-electromenager.fr\/forum_lecture-116653-1-7.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Lave-vaisselles Electrolux ESI66065XR<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electrolux home appliances (like dishwasher\/tumble dryer\/washing machines) have a common breakdown.
