Bosch Classixx 1200 - replace heating relay?

[JKScotland]

Hello all,

We've had a trusty Bosch Classixx 1200 Express for over 15 years and fixed a few things when necessary (including bearings 6 months ago). It looks like the heating relay is on the way out. A repair man came and tapped the relay it and it worked again for a couple of weeks. His suggestion was to source a replacement control board if I wanted to repair it.

My question - how difficult is it to identify, source and replace the relay for the heating circuit? Anyone done it before? (no photos of the component yet)

I've done something similar in my subwoofer (a relay) and it worked a treat. Obviously a washing machine will be higher power/currents/fire-risk.

Machine is WFO2466GB/07

Thanks

You can search the replacement by googling the relay part number or even the washing machine model.

Are you sure it isn't a dry joint?

If you can't find one I'll look at the datasheet of the relay and try finding you a similar one. How many pins does the relay have?

It should not be too dificult just look at the relays on the board and make a note of their operating voltage and the current carrying capacity and the pin outs then do a googl search for one. Unfortunately all the spares suppliers seem to blur out the details on pictures of a replacement pcb so I cannot get details from them.

Can you take a good quality photo of the relay, both sides of the PCB?
They generally have details on them that can identify them or even the pin configuration can aid that.

Single pole would have 5 pads, double pole 8 pads.

Looking online for the PCB, they appear to be a common single pole "sugar cube" relay.
