Help IDing colors on part

In Photoshop, averaging the pixel data after maxing the Chroma channel yields the following results:

ffff63 (hex) = Yellow bd35c1 (hex) = Violet e02d55 (hex) = Red

So, 4.7 kOhm

BTW - Did you know that the CTRL+ and CTRL- keys will zoom you in or out (respectively) if using Microsoft Explorer. Ver-8 does anyway, but I think most versions have this feature.

Good luck with the dryer!

Just in case you and others missed it, Sphero found a great picture of the PCB.

just one click on the picture and it expands to show great detail of the resistor in question. Thanks, Mikek

Looks like 4k7 10% 1/2W

Yes, 4k7 (just repeating what everybody is saying).

Read this, perhaps it's better to buy another dryer, with better circuit board.

Funny, after reading that, to me, it sounds like a door switch or gas pressure switch..

Maybe? This one is all electric, it lasted 8 years. So far I $1.24 in parts plus $4.50 shipping, I ordered some other parts too. I'll find a resistor in my junk box, if it fixes it great, if not then I'll have to decide if I want to spend another $43.00 for the new PCB or get a new dryer. I'm tempted to replace the PCB. If I could get three more years out of the dryer, I think I'd be ahead. I could get a lot more, one more year and the last kid will be out. Then it's just

3 loads a week, maybe 1.5 hours run time. As you know, "Predictions are difficult, especially about the future!"

One of my favorite Yogi-isms.

I get great joy from Yogi-isms also! Mikek

They actually make sense when taken in context.

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it!", describing the way to get to his house (the road was a loop).

"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."

"Nobody hardly ever goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

Describing one of the dives the team no longer frequented (because there were too many others).

"Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours."

"If people don't want to come out to the ball park, nobody's gonna stop 'em."

"I never said most of the things I said."

Mikek :-)

The repair is not complete #@$^. I replaced the resistor and reinstalled the PCB, I monitored the voltage across the 4.7K and had 94 volts. That calculates to 1.9 watts, the original resistor is no larger than a 1 watt, if that. I don't measure any more other defective parts. B+ is derived from the 120 volt line thru a series 3.3uf cap and a 33 ohm resistor and then rectified and zenered down to 5.1 volts. I lifted Vdd and Vcc from the microprocessor and still had the large voltage on the 4.7K. All diodes and zeners I replaced still test ok, one of the caps got warm, I suspect the applied voltage was too high. I don't hold out much chance of finding a schematic for the PCB. I'm going to order the board, although I'm a bit uncomfortable that it may be something external to the PCB. Thanks for the help, Mikek

Yes, poor and dangerous design. Too cheap to put in a step-down transformer.

The man was a genius!

If you want more interpretations, read the book. ;-)

That is more like it..no apparent white "band" where one does not belong.

That white or pink looking band seems to be an artifact from the jpeg compression. Notice how it doesn't fit with the spacing of the other bands. In the easyapplianceparts images the bands are a little over 1 pixel wide. jpeg will often mangle pixel scale detail.

have you tried pressing printscreen?

It turns out the actual part is yellow violet red 4700 not 470 like it looks in that photo.
