How do you test a washing machine control board?

Washing machine does not work. Since it just bought one years ago, the components in it is not old, I think. So I want to check it from its PCB. Any tips on this?

It is a good way to fully test a modern appliance circuit board by connecting it up to a checked and fully functioning appliance the same as it came from. Even the manufacturers repair guys’ test boards that way if they have the same dilemma.
You can also visually check all of the solder joints and connectors and test the components that can be tested with a meter (resistors, capacitors and traces).
Contact the suppliers for after-sales service if it is within the warranty period.

What will be the role of a copper layer in a metal core PCB in thermal dissipation?

In the design of a power electronic PCB, I want to use a metal PCB for heat dissipation of a TO-220 package MOSFET. To do that I want to mount metal PCB on the MOSFET with the use of thermal paste and screw exactly like we do when we use heatsink for the same package. Should I leave the copper of PCB between MOSFET surface and dielectric of PCB or remove the copper surface and leave only the dielectric opening?

How much larger should a plated-through hole be than lead diameter to get good solder wetting?

I’m designing a new PCB where I have a whack of connectors that have to line up with the metalwork. There are some problematic connectors. All 4 pins are round. I want to have the holes as small as possible while allowing for good solder adhesion over the full length of the pin. I’m looking for guidance on how much clearance around the component lead I should have in order to get good solder wetting and adhesion.

Why the cost of repair of LEDs TVs is so high?

I ordered a TV repair service. It is so costly. Do you have similar experience? Why does it cost a lot?
