    Dishwasher killing computer

    It works, except the switch on control circuit. I now use manual control: disconnect from GPU, mains feed from off to on, reconnect to GPU. It was not in use or plugged when the HP monitor USB went down coinciding with dishwasher activity.

    Dishwasher killing computer

    Checked out all other appliances and found nothing, and everything is working. The unexplained explosive pop remains unexplained. Will have to wait for more strange events before deciding if there is something wrong or not. For now, I will assume the apple monitor PSU failing from age, and the...

    Ok, honestly I have no idea what they are. I just need them to work.

    Dishwasher killing computer

    The dishwasher has 2 EMI filters, one parallel and one inline to the load. Both checked out in capacitance, and the parallel one checked out in resistance as well. The silver cap/filter in the second pic doesn't come with an ohm spec. The dishwasher is in perfect health, although the rubber hose...

    Dishwasher killing computer

    I have been unable to find evidence of any filter explosion. Physically, the filter looks in perfect shape. The filter connects (gold spade connectors) to the mains in parallel to the feed to the other bits. My guess on the location of the explosive pop could be wrong. I will have to check the...

    Dishwasher killing computer

    Piece of junk apple monitor PSU was poor quality. I will replace it with a cheap china one. The other interfered USB hub was on a HP business grade monitor. Since no permanent damage was done, I suppose the quality on that was slightly better. My PC uses a china PSU. Nothing on it was affected...

    Why are you obsessed with pages? A thread should be as long as it takes, but no longer.

    It was already proven in a previous instance a blown up filter did not affect operation of the appliance.

    Dishwasher killing computer

    I am in for more luck. I fixed the apple monitor using sellotape. The dishwasher severely wounded the circuitry for tuning on the monitor power supply. Masking out the circuitry allowed the power supply to work again. That saved me a tenner buying a china psu.

    It doesn't. I had a thread demonstrating one crashed in less than 10 questions. But it can deal with the simple stuff.

    Thank you for your attention in this matter - my trump impression. I appear to be in luck! AI Overview Yes, EMI filters are generally bidirectional, meaning they work in reverse to block noise flowing from the equipment back to the power line, protecting the grid, as well as blocking noise...

    Dishwasher killing computer

    Why'sat? I literally caught it doing that red-handed, 2 hours ago. The previous POP and latest USB interruption occurred at the end of the wash cycle where the pump completed pumping and heater switching on for dish drying. I would expect a surge of power consumption by the dishwasher at that...

    Dishwasher killing computer

    Recently, I had a loud pop in the kitchen in the direction of the washing machine and dishwasher. The dishwasher was in use, and the washing machine was plugged in but not powered on from the front panel. As I had previous experience of this kind of pop, I knew an EMI filter was blown. Although...

    Legit MS Office?

    I could have gotten it for £7 if I didn't mind a little increased risk. But going with a seller having high proportion of positive views meant the chance for hassle was lower. It's the first time I bought office as I always had free access in the past. So, £13 per lifetime was not bad. If it...
