The cooler serve me about 10 years and start to give me some issue like timing set but auto cut off or some intermittent issue.
- Open up and see the bottom very dirty and sticky and need full cleaning to remove all the dirty.
- The pcb is very dirty and a lot of flux, thus clean with IPA to remove the excess flux.
- There are two 10u 400V capacitor on the pcb and this is NO brand type. Thus replaced them with Nichicon 6.8u 400V long life type even the original cap measure good.
- I want to highlight that the clips used in this cooker has a lock spring in it, just press down and then the pin can easily pull out from the IEC socket!
- Bottom 4 screw no need to remove. a) IEC socket need to remove by one screw and one cover. b) Top cover hinge remove with 1 screw and also a cover, pull out from bottom of cover. c) then under the cover use flat screw driver to pull up the top section at hinge side. No solder is required for all dis-assembly steps.
