This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

WIDL 126UK PCB power supply chip identification not available

The problem
On a WIDL 126UK washing machine, the power supply chip at position U8 on the PCB had exploded and its markings could not be read. The poster wanted the chip number in order to attempt a component-level repair.
Likely cause
Failure of the PCB power supply chip at U8 was confirmed by the poster. The exact chip type and any underlying cause were not identified in the discussion.
What fixed it
The accepted advice was that individual PCB component part numbers are not available for this appliance and PCB parts are not supplied separately; the board is normally replaced as a complete part. A specialist PCB reconditioning service was suggested as an alternative to full board replacement. The exact repair carried out was not confirmed.
Checks to try
  • U8 power supply chip on the PCB was found exploded and unreadable

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hello. There are never any part numbers for individual components in these things, and you can't buy parts for them. Unlike in brown goods the printed circuit parts are always replaced as a complete part in white goods. If you think you can source an equivalent part from your contacts I appreciate you would need proper information but it's not available unless by some chance someone takes theirs off and has a look which is very much a long shot. You may be able to get it repaired at QER who are one of the few people who recondition washing machine pcbs

Other than that you can buy complete washing machine pcb's from my 4washehelp spares site
