Jet workshop filter boxes

[Pierre]

back in 2013 I bought a Jet AFS-500 Air Filtration System from Axminster and in 2015 I had to get a replacement circuit board under the guarantee, the board has just gone again. Before I shell out 60£ for another replacement board has anyone had the same problem and if so did you find a cheaper supplier?

Common problem mate never heard of a cheaper solution however if you could use a fixed speed would it not bypass the need for such a dicky board?

Any of your friends into electronics?
The might be able to fix it.

Very common apparently and it's usually down to one component.
So common in fact that someone made a video of how to fix it!
I haven't watched it so I don't know if it shows safe practice.

Didn't know it was a problem, do now and worth knowing thanks..

I would try what Neil has posted, if that doesn't work I would do as Peter said.

obtain a variable speed controller and wire the fan directly doing away with the dodgy board, it means wireing in a cable to gain access to the controller but I think it would be an option.
