We will be continuing maintenance on the wiki starting this Saturday at 9 am (UTC) to Sunday at 7PM (UTC).
There is a possibility of long maintenance-breaks and downtime during this time.

Grundig UC6620

The Grundig UC6620 ultrasonic cleaner is a 35W cheap device with a lot of failure points.
Faults I had to repair in my unit were:
- A broken transducer
- Shorted driver transistors (IRF830 500V NFET)
- Shorted rectification diodes from the second discrete rectifier in the circuit, that's before the driver
- An open 0.1 Ohm resistor coupling the rectified voltage over to the driver transistors. The damage was not visible!

The main PCB where the main driver transistors are very prone
to dying. The Driver chip seems to be very robust as it retained no damage during a lot of failing attempts at restarting.
output can go short too. They're 1N4007 standard diodes. |

The output capacitance was adjusted with this smaller foil
cap, parallel to the transducer, because it has a larger capacitance than the original. |
