broken ultrasonic cleaner repair ?

[orang37]

I bought this, second-hand,  a few month ago, and it stopped working after a few uses; I think something burned-out. It's a Chinese make, no brand-name, no manual, but solidly built.

 

My guess is it's not repairable ... or, if repairable would cost more than its worth, and I'vr already got a replacement.

 

I used to be electrically/electronically competent in terms of small appliance repair, but, I'd guess this beast has some parts that would have to be replaced  that are not common.

 

Any ideas ?  If you are in the Chiang Mai area, and want this for parts (free), PM me.

I have always been skeptical as to effectiveness of ultrasonic "filter" but whatever.  How do you know it's defective?  Power source OK?

Ultrasonic cleaners are wonderful for deep cleaning a variety of things without damage from abrasion. But, AFAIK, ultrasonic cleaning cannot remove suspicions from an uninformed mind ????

 

Nothing happens when I turn it on, now; no visible fuse.

To my understanding OP is not about ultrasonic filtering, but about ultrasonic cleaning. Just put something in it, even something you consider as being "clean" and be surprised about the "clouds" of dirt coming off.

 

Arjen.

I admit I had a brain fart.  I was thinking of the UV thingy.
