Hi AC,

Although it pains me to say it you’re best off dumping the control board. Trying to hack it to figure out what is going on is, in my opinion, not worth it on a conventional machine. On an inverter it’s a different story as the control system is much more complex.

I don’t know what your level of electronic skill is but personally I would design and build my own control system (as I have done for my machines) either with basic switching thermostats and relays or, if you’re up to it, with a pic or equivalent.

If you were going to try to hack it you would need various electronic test tools and a lot of time!

Regards,

Nigel
Hummmm....

Sobering thought from someone with plenty of electronic skill and test tools, and who has spent lots of time trying to crack the code on an inverter machine.

I was thinking, when I bought the unit, that I might have to do something like that...
