Never mind, I switched the supply voltage to 115, flipped the conversion plug & changed the igniter. It fired right up. Jandy really blew it on the 230 volt setup of this model!

You should first start with converting the unit to run on 115 VAC if you can. We had a unit that went thru three ignitors, 2 selector boards, two main boards and a transformer in one summer in part because the electronics in that model are sensitive to spikes and spikes on a 230 circuit are worse than the same spikes would be wired for 115. Jandy was the source for that recommendation, not us.

Anyway, consider changing the line voltage and thoroughly inspect your main board to be certain it is not damaged. Assuming the main PCB is ok your best bet with a new part should be low voltage. Since we converted the unit we were working on it has been trouble-free.

    John, I've noticed you on a lot of the Jandy lite 2 posts. I'm working on one that is wired for 230 volts & jandy also recommended converting to 115v.
    The heater keeps blowing igniters, there is 24 volts at T1 & T2 at the board igniter terminals. It should be 115 volts. This shouldn't be blowing igniters though. I think they are shorting to ground in the igniter hole.
    Have you seen this? I did notice jandy made a retrofit igniter kit to relocate the igniter on the far right burner but this is for the model year after the one I'm am troubleshooting.

Candy Dryer Not Switching On

If you really have 252 volts, you need to contact your electricity utility company. If you are in the UK (fuse in plug clue), you should have 225 to 230.

230 volts Although the normal voltage in the UK is 230 volts, it is not constant. The voltage at your property will vary due to the use of power and normal operation of the power supply network. Our network is designed to ensure that the voltage stays within the permitted tolerance or statutory limits.

I am doing a 110V to 220V conversion on my KSM 150 kitchenaid mixer. Do I need a RFI filter too ?

It will run fine without the filter if you choose to bypass it. If your 110 volt filter is not up to handling the 230 volts the filter will only go bang and smoke it won't harm anything else. I have looked at the capacitors on a 230 volt filter and they are 250v - 275v so just read what's on your 110v filter. What you need to change is the armature, the fields and the small phase board under the back cover..

It was Connected with 230 V ac since then its not working. How can it repaired now?

If you visited Europe and returned to Canada/America and you used a 120 volt appliance on a 230 volt plug using an adapter things can still go wrong. If it no longer works... open it to view where the cord comes in. The first board or section of the board will be a power section. Often there is either 4 diodes or a rectifier with 4 pins these are the likely culprits. If it has a transformer instead then it likely overheated and burned its thermal cutout buried under its layers of tape. I could make it work again if i was there in person.

Bosch universal mixer 800W. How do I change a 110 volt to a 220 volt? Is it possible?

Bosch is not very good about putting manuals or other documentation online for older products, so I'll have to give you generic advice.

Some electric motors have optional voltage connections. If your motor has this feature, there will be a box or removable plate on the motor with 110 Volt and 220 Volt connections inside. You would need to replace the line cord with a 220 Volt cord having the correct plug for the location you plan to use the mixer, and connect the motor "hot" wire to the 220 V connection in the motor junction box instead of the 110 V connection (the neutral wire goes to the same neutral).

If there is no such option available on the motor, you would also have to replace the motor with a 220 Volt version. Check the labeling on the speed control (inside the mixer) to be sure it is rated for 240 VAC, and check the power label by the power cord. If the label gives a single range of input voltages spanning both 110 VAC and 220 VAC (e.g., "Input 97 V- 265 V") then you only need to change the plug. Unless the electrical parts are all rated for 240 VAC or higher, conversion is not safe.

Some products (especially desktop computers) have a recessed switch on the back that lets you select either 115 VAC or 230 VAC input power. If you have this on the mixer, all you have to do is use a small tool to push it to the other position.

An alternative is to get a 230 VAC - 115 VAC transformer or inverter rated for at least 800 Volt-Amps and wire it with a 230 Volt plug on the primary side and a 115 Volt socket on the secondary side; then you can just plug in your unmodified mixer to this. If you cannot find a box like this, you can buy a "control transformer" from an industrial equipment supplier and put it in a suitable metal box. I recommend including a power switch and a 4 Amp dual-element fuse or breaker on the primary side circuit; you don't want somebody burning up the transformer with a 1200 Watt microwave oven or griddle.

Whirlpool gas dryer: 120 volt plugged into a 220 volt plug. Dryer will no longer show power for machine. inside light does come on when plugged back into 120 volt receptacle. Has the dryer burnt up?

may have burned the motor out.... if this unit has a control board on it most likely would have shorted it out first if a standard/basic gas dryer will a timer knob then power would have either burned timer,or motor up first.... good luck to you that really stinks....

My G-air unit does not work at all. It doesn't start

Try the fan switch inthe ON setting rather than the AUTO setting, if it runs, power, both low(24) and high(115 or 230) are present. if not, check breakers and fused outlet if a split system furnace, read for 24 volts at red and common on low voltage terminal board where thermostat wires go on the furnace, if no 24 volts there and poers entering furnace, transformers bad.

No power to thermostat

You need a serviceman. No really, you do! You are in over your head and you are replacing parts just because you can see them and they are not the likely culprit. I am betting it is the contacters in your condensing unit.

no!   It will be ruined if you try that.
