Whirlpool is not "some Aldi-branded Italian make", it's an extremely common American white goods producer. They used to be well-known for the robustness of their machines.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoMeh, the Whirlpool of today may be different. Most of these manufacturers ended up in a race to the bottom for making cheap e-waste.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoThat's why I said they used to be well-known for it, I don't really know much about them today. But either way, Whirlpool is American, not German-Italian.
- remuskaos 5y agoIt seems I was mistaken, I replied on your other comment as well. It's been a few years since I fixed that specific model. The burned PCB was by a manufacturer called Minisel, and I think variants of Minisel control units are used in many cheap washing machines like Beko, Bauknecht, Elin, Whirpool and probably other. Maybe that's why I confused the brands. Ebay ist still full of these units [1]. [1]: https://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_nkw=minisel&_sacat=0 https://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_nkw=minisel&_sacat=0
- remuskaos 5y agoYour comment made me curious, so I looked into my old photos. It seems I was mistaken, it's been a few years. It's not a Whirpool but simple a "WM 25E" ("WM" probably for washing machine). Apparently the same model is also branded as "Elin WM 25E". This forum thread [1] show the exact PCB that burned out in my machine, I've bought the replacement on ebay back then. There was some motorola µc on it and several run of the mill components, but no adhesive or "goo".
