Pottery wheel circuit board
Hi , yes ! the black probe was attached to the earth wire on the chasis of the machine and the red probe took all the readings in the various places. I also shouldve been clearer in my above message - the highlighted wires are where readings where around 20v or less - have just rechecked the...- Ursi M

Pretty sure the motor works - intially the wheel had probelms without starting and then when i gave it a little push i think would get overloaded and the motor would spin much too fast. Seemed in good order, and i thought it more a speed control issue in the wiring. Once i took the circuit board...- Ursi M

Thankyou , that is all very helpful . Although now i am very puzzled-changed the resistor back to the original green wire wound one, and cant get a reading for 240 volts (which i had previously got) anywhere in the circuit, even at the first connection from the live wire. all my readings are in...- Ursi M

I do have a multimeter - i tested the volatage in the blue wire (just bfore R4 ) and it was at 241v but across the resistor and before the resistor was 0.084v. To be honest the on button still makes no noise when pressed (which it used to) but i have tested and got positive beeps for continuity...- Ursi M

so , i replacd the capacitor with a newer one and resistor with a metal film resistor (680 ohms). Fired it up.. i suppose good news as nothing actually fried up this time, but the machine was still unresponsive and nothing started with power. Did some live voltage tests and noticed a significant...- Ursi M

so to be clear , i will remove the blue/ grey capacitor and fried resistor .. order the attached filter, and solder it from the bottom right tag (with the green resistor) to the tag directly above where the blue one used to sit? After , wire it back up again and test...- Ursi M

Hello ! I have now de soldered the board and managed to get it off the wheel. going forward i have a few questions... During the de soldering process, will the wiring be faulty when i re wire it if some of the rubber housing has melted in places? furthermore, i am attempting to take off the...- Ursi M

Thankyou for all your help ! Hae ordered solder remover tape and am going t unsolder the wiring to get a closer look at the board, and replace the fried resistor. Also ordered some correct 1 A fuses. Oce ive got the board off and ill post a picture for any help regarding how much resistance i...- Ursi M

Hi !! Yes I have been referring to the same diagram … it’s pretty similar but not Exaclty the same. I was reccomended to put in a 2 amp fuse instead of the desired 1A and it fried one of the brown striped (I assume resistor) type components. Do you think best to replace them ?- Ursi M
