Can damp cause pcb to blow?

If it didn't cost too much it might not be worth pursuing as if the independent engineer agreed it was damp it would end up being a costly thing. If he said it wasn't related you would need the original company to admit a big mistake, or take them to the small claims court if they didn't.

It's a tricky one this.

The machine was delivered by them but we installed the machine ourselves I may need to get an independent engineer to give a report of the fault and contact T&S thanks for your help and your quick reply's

Damp isn't good for appliances though it usually takes its toll on them gradually over a much longer period. Damp could short something out if it was really bad. It's possible they could be jumping to conclusions having seen the damp (why didn't they warn you about it when they delivered the machine?) but their advice not to have it fixed until the damp is sorted appears genuine.

Hi the company has not repaid the machine or taken any parts away the machine worked fine for 3 weeks then the door light flashed and the machine would not engage they said that the main board had blown and this is due to the damp conditions behind the machine.

the previous 2 machines had also broke the 1st one the bearings had gone and the 2nd one was an electrical fault then this one the main board went.

the company seamed genuine and did come out very quick but I was left with a broken machine as they refused to repair under warranty and blamed the damp, can this brake a machine?

they did say if I wanted a repair I would have to pay £55 for "quality used parts and labour" but did not recommend that a repair was done until the damp conditions were rectified as the machine could brake again.

thanks for your reply its very much appreciated
