I was very proud of my homebrew extended cold water supply hose, but the hose clamp on the machine end failed after about a year, accurately injecting a few litres of water into my Smartdrive MW512's electronic innards before popping off entirely and flooding the laundry floor.
I didn't realize that the electronics had been doused until I replaced the hose a day later and the machine failed to start; it had been plugged in all that time. Now the motor controller smells bad, the PCB features a very artistic pattern of burnt and corroded tracks, and assorted components have been so badly corroded that they snap off when gently brushed clean. Sigh.
I've disassembled, dried and reassembled the also-drenched front-panel board, but I think the motor controller has gone to God.
Can anybody suggest a way I can get hold of a replacement motor controller for less than the AU$160 RRP I've been quoted by F&P? Second-hand is fine. I'm in Australia, and the module has a big yellow sticker on its casing that reads, in part, "P7CP 230V".
