Hello all,
I kindly ask for help to repair my washing machine. I've sone some simple repairment in the past, I tried to do my homeworks but I think this is far over my possibilities.
I self-taught some basic electronics just to use PIC/arduino, I have no big problems understanding digital electronics (i'm a programmer), but analog electronics it's like sorcery to me.
The model is an italian brand ARDO (gone bust) TL127LW, it doesn't power on (dead) and I think (HOPE!) it's a power supply problem.
I haven't find schematics or useful information on internet.
This is the electronic board, I think it's a three-layer one (I cannot follow traces flipping the board):
on the opposite side there are only SMD leds, a 4 digit led display and an IC (CAP200DG) placed between the legs of the green 1uF capacitor C1.
I guess that the power supply section follow this scheme:
https://hackaday.com/2017/04/04/the-shocking-truth-about-transformerless-power-supplies/and that CAP200DG it's there only for safety reason.
I've tested C1, C2, R1, R2, D1 and D2 and all are ok. They let test them on the board, but i desoldered C1 and R2 to be sure and there was OK.
I guess also the problem lies near here:
I think those are 12V zener, right? Voltage across Z1 is 9.8v and Z2 is 40v (!!), and it's the same on the near capacitors respectively, both marked 32v (!!)
I haven't found anything useful about IC2 (marked WT 72 s in no particular order) and I have no clues on what is it.
For what i've understood there is a stepped regulation in voltage and the last stage is feeded on VR1 (KY5033) to feed the microcontroller, but from here I'm lost.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english,
Marco
