I dont know when Numatic changed the PCB :/
Will a 2012 Henry break? It has been in regular use from November 2012 till present if it helps. I was told it wont, but reading this thread I am a little confused on when the PCB's were modified

Interesting read.
My Henry Autosave was dead when I got it a few years ago, only the high/low would show a red light if pushed but the motor wouldn't run.

Found it had a worn out brush, replaced it and off it went, but only ever on high. Works fine, sounds like the triac is shorted in my case, so it's able to run.

Chaps,

What is the best way to bypass the PCB?

I have my dead Henry in bits - worked fine 2 days ago - today the light came on the hi-lo switch when Henry was powered up, but no motor. After sucking my teeth a few seconds and pressing the switch a couple of times, and cycling the power, now all lights are off. Switches test fine with meter, and there is power into the Henry from the plug.

So it looks like PCB. I'm happy to remove it, I only ever run it on high anyway.

I have a brown/blue/black/white into the red PCB. Do I join those, leave hi/lo switch alone, or remove from PCB and connect into hi/lo etc...

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks

JF

You want both white motor cables to one side of the main on off switch, then the blue and brown wires from the cord unit to the other side. You may have to have henry apart to the motor to check which cables are which then either strip out the pcb and wires, leave the switch in to stop stuff falling in the hole and hopefully you will win!

All working! So the red PCB is removed completely and all wires are off the hi/lo... the motor is wired direct to the on/off and we're good as new. Well, almost. But free!

Thanks!

Nice job! Just curious, how old is your Henry? My Auntie'sHenry has the red PCB and her Henry is 2 and a half years old, still works perfectly fine

Well I never delete an email, so I can tell you I bought it from Argos in October 2011. Coming up to 4 years old then.

I have a few dogs, 2 of which are long haired and moult like a @#!, and this Henry has had some heavy use, I would say almost daily...

Nice outcome, glad you got it fixed!

Its the first check i do on a 'just died on me mate' cheap henry nowadays. Never been wrong yet, but if they properly blow they smell like fire so its slightly blatent
