Hi. I have an icemaker in my kitchen that has popped the board twice. This is the second time and paying $350 for a new one is not cool, and infact these boards are so unreliable they are now unobtainable. But, I am kind of getting tired of digging into the box with my hands to get ice. Its winter in New Zealand....
Anyways, looking at this little board, there is no power getting past the control transformer. Closer inspection I see the little comets tail of dust shooting out of one of the little diodes coupled into the TOP222G subcircuit. Testing it shows me 154k Ohms both ways, compared to 8m Ohms one way on the others around it. There are no identification marks on the top of this cute little number.
Does anyone have the time please to point me in the correct direction where I can identify a replacement for this little check valve? Also, would you recommend I change out the TOP222G as well?
I am basic electronic. But soldering in something to get power back onto this board would be well into my skillbase and just plain nice.
Regards
Boyd
