im a complete newbee to electronics but do know how to solder etc i have done a few xbox 360 mods etc so small isnt really a problem
i have a whirlpool washing machine that has a burnt out acs108-6s triac, im desperate to fix this as i have been without a washing machine now for 4 weeks thanks to british gas homecare
as you can imagine with 3 kids this isnt easy at all. my problem is i really dont know what i can replace this with. im really hoping there is something at maplin that will work as they are local and i can go collect today
I've had one of those go on mine before I skipped it, the cables that run down the front of the machine had chafed and shorted on the chassis, check this on yours before you power it up again.
Replace the triac with the same device, sometimes you can use an equiv but you really need to understand the application.
