Thank you for the great info, bought the resistor so when it arrives will install. tested it is faulty. Do you have a vid on the old LG 7kg WD-80134 T it switches on but does nothing. Can you help
I have the same problem but when I replaced the resistor it blew again. I have established the resistor is a path for mains ac when the switich at the front of the machine is pressed. When I pressed the button the resistor got very hot very quickly so there is a short somewhere. The service manual is pretty sparse but it would seem the current path is from the resistor through to the switch mode power supply and the heating elements. I suspect I have a heating element with a leakage path but still trying to work it out. I don't have a megger tester. The fault is not on the main pcb board as I have changed that. How did this fix work out for you long term?
like you video I got a silty older LG your video open up a hole list possibility's the machine was washing & drying, did the full wash thing perfect, loaded up the next load, closed the door and nothing felt like popped a fuse, but not all the fuses I could find passed being tested, it all the same I've been going all over main PCB board, as seam the best place to start, about the same spot on the PCB, I got right next where all big stuff capacitors are located what looks like very large sized resister (actual size, not what it doing), it deep in the resin, so the colour may off a little, blue/green, the main barrel and stripes look like light blue, grey/silver/white, orange/light red on the whiter side red but not pick, coppery gold colour , any Idea what it called, I only going by that it go a small bubble it the resin right next to it? when the go bad do they vent gas or something, or am go after the wrong part, should keep looking?
I don’t think the resin would bubble if the resistor failed most likely the bubble was there from when the resin was poured. Best put a multimeter on the resister and check if you get any resistance if you get nothing then it no good I show how to do that on the video. If the resister is covered in resin then you need to rest it from the bottoms of the board where it’s soldered hope that helps
