Hi

When I switched ON this mixer, it was totally dead (No power supply). It uses a SMPS. I opened up and checked all the components. There are 2 IRFP460A switching transistors, a IR2153 Driver,2 optocouplers, 5 smd and 2 normal transistors. All the smd resistors tested OK. The electrolytic caps, diodes are also OK. This item operates from 220V AC to 240V AC. When I connect the mixer thru a autotransformer and reduce the mains voltage to around 200V AC, the mixer turns ON and operates normally. When I turn up the voltage to approx 225V approx, the power supply turns OFF. I tried switching ON and OFF, but doesn't work. After turning down the Voltage back to approx 200V and wait for 2 to 3 mins, then when I switch it ON, it functions again as normal.

I replaced the Driver IC (IR 2153) but no difference. It is written at the back that this unit operates from 220V to 240V. Can I placed some high ohm and high watt resistors to bring down the AC voltage to approx 200V AC. I do not have a service manual or schematic .Please assist.

Thanks

Carlos
