A faulty control board left a critical machine out of action at Bethanie Fields, an aged care facility operated by Bethanie Group in Perth's southern suburbs. With vulnerable residents depending on reliable equipment around the clock, a swift diagnosis and clear repair pathway were essential to minimise downtime and disruption to care.
The Fault
Technician Ben attended Bethanie Fields to fault-find a machine that had stopped operating entirely. The pump was not running under normal conditions, so Ben bypassed it by connecting directly on 240V. The pump ran without issue, confirming the pump itself was healthy. The fault was traced to a failed PCB, which had taken the entire machine offline.
The Repair
Ben completed a thorough fault-find during the April 2026 callout, confirming the PCB as the root cause and ruling out any secondary faults. While this particular repair could not be completed same-day due to parts availability, the diagnosis was locked in quickly and a replacement PCB was sourced to get the machine back on line as fast as possible.
The Outcome
With the fault clearly identified, Bethanie Group had a defined repair plan and timeline. The rapid diagnosis prevented unnecessary delays and gave the facility's management team confidence that the right parts were being ordered without guesswork.
