Same Problem, diodes fell out of bridge rectifier assembly

Defect can be a switch (contacts / soldering or wrapps) ,or a fuse caused by a shorted rectifier bridge component or 1 diode in the bridge of 4 pcs , a shorted voltage regulator or shorted power mosnfet in the power supply. caused by a bad capacitor or soldering.

You smoked off the regulator , a transformer is for AC voltage change like say a step up or step down and the trxfmer just shot AC voltage to where DC should have been. The bridge rectifier is what changes the AC to DC not a transformer . If you have soldering skills you can replace it on the board , it could be you just cooked off a diode (1 of 4 to make bridge) . Hope this helps

If it's not the main board that's causing the fuse to blow then you have a short circuit somewhere in the power supply. Check things like the electrolytic capacitors. The ones that look like little cans. They should all have flat tops. If any are bulging out at the top they will need replacing. Also check the bridge rectifier which is a black component usually standing up on the board with four legs. If there is no bridge rectifier there will be 4 rectifier diodes together. They are black cylindrical items with a sliver band on one end and a lead out of each end. They are usually located near to where the mains lead enters the power board. Other things to check are power transistors, they are usually 3 legged, (sometimes 2 legs if they are used as a diode) black items with their case fixed to a heat sink (aluminium block.)

Hi sir, you must test first the motor: use battery for Motor Cycle 12Vdc, and see what happen with the motor. if the motor Run very well, the Problem will be with the Control board Motor.
Some time will be The transformer, if have 2) the Bridge Rectifier, 3) The big Capacitor 4) IGBT 5)or some Faulty short between Solder. Look Carefully.

try adding .01mfd disc capacitors across bridge rectifiers diodes(all the 4 diodes),If the devise is old try replacing filter capacitors.and isolate transformer secondary leads if they are very near recifier board.

The most probable cause is a blown fuse on the circuit board. It is a cylindrical glass component with two chrome colored ends, located near the AC cord wires soldered to the circuit board. It can be checked with a volt-ohm meter, it should read minimal, close to zero ohms, across the ends. This fuse is soldered to the circuit board, mine is a 2A fast blow fuse with one lead attached to each end. If the fuse is OK or a replacement does not fix the problem, the bridge rectifier is probably bad as mine was. I rigged up 4 power diodes rated at 120 Volts AC and 2 Amps current as a replacement.

sounds like a bridge rectifier diode has shorted replace the bridge or make your own use 4 1000 piv diodes. can be purchased at radio shack. be sure to connect the diodes annode to cathode when making the bridge. also when a component shorts it generally opens the next component in series.in youre case i would definatley check the filter caps.sometimes if overloaded they will actually be swelled otherwise you will have to take them out of the circuit and read them with a cap checker on a quality multimeter. if bad be sure to mind polarity when replacing! electrolytic caps have a positive and neg. leg the board will be marked

there is a diode on the power line that blocks the dc to ground. follow pwr wires down to board. and the first diode on the + pwr is it. this is on all radios. and not just cbs. just put a new diode on the back side of the pwr plug. were the wires solder onto. but even better what we do @ our shop 254.718.4042 is use or make bridge rectifier install inline. and you will never have that problem either direction you plug it in. will work. no more worries about polarity.

Most likely what got burnt is the bridge rectifier in the power supply section of the electronic circuit. This usually takes the shape of either a single 4-legged IC, or a group of 4 rectifying diodes connected in a bridge configuration. If you disassemble the unit to which the power cord is attached & trace the circuit starting from the terminals of the power chord, you can easily identify it. You will need to replace the 4-legged IC or the 4 rectifying diodes.
You will also need to replace the fuse, since it is usually likely that it gets burnt if the unit is attached to 220V instead of 110V.

You should buy the whole 0063525 board, if the diodes got so hot that they came out other parts may be broken too.
