Immersun repair - component id required

#1

Post by dtnetnt »

Hi

I'm wondering if someone would be able to help me identify a part from my father's Immersun that I'm trying to repair for him?

The component is the grey capacitor (I think) in the pictures below.

As you can see it's pretty badly damaged although the unit was actually working if you could make the live connection stay connected.

I'm planning on replacing the cable connector with one of these CamdenBoss ones as they take more current than the original and I've seen other people doing that.

I've also managed to source the blue component to the left of the power connector so just the grey one to id if possible.

Under where the grey component was it says 220nF, there's also C35 written on the PCB to the right of where it fits if that helps at all?

Many thanks in advance

Yes 0.22uF it says on mine - i.e. 220nF.

Replace all the connectors with those single piece connectors. I had one fail on me and none since I upgraded all mine.

Looks like a great guess, thank you

Yeah good idea, thanks for the tip. Fingers crossed it works again after replacing these bits.

Such a shame that those connectors have let down what's been a great bit of kit up to now.
