I have dioplomat dishwasher adp8322, its only 6 months old, its a present so I dont have any guarantee etc. I hadnt used this dishwasher for a few days, I put it oin the other day only for it to keep flashing and beeping and reverting back to pre-rinse setting. I have tried resetting and making sure there is no blockage.It looks that this may be a common ailment with this particular model. I AM NOT VERY HAPPY AS i am off sick and having chemo so am not really in the position to be able to spend alot of money. I would be grateful if soewmone could help me, or a telephone number of someone who would not charge £90.

Diplomat adp8322 manual Do you have a wiring diagram please. Valuable 'FREE' downloads that you will need for viewing or printing please. Yes I see the 2 point plug but this motor has to have min 3 terminals to enable a 4uf capacitor to be connected between the two windings. The other connections will be at the blind side of the motor where the capacitor is fitted.
Regards gaby. Click to expand.This is my first post - I hope it helps!This machine has two very poor design features firstly the original pump is rubbish (the impeller simply sheers in half - easy to fix but expensive the replacement is a of a much better design and quality); secondly the control cables are feed down from the control panel to the pumps/sensors via the front door and a protector. The protector is rubbish and breaks easily, once this happens any of the cables is as risk of being worn through - these either become open circuit or short out to the body.

This can be very dangerous to to you and disastrous for the control unit! Faults can simply be a broken or damaged cable, so always check this (power off of course!). So replace this part if there is any doubt of its integrity.Ok to your problem - if all your checks have proved no good then the next step is to test the reed switch on the small PCB located in the metering tank. The PCB is easily removed by gently lifting the tab to the right if the connector and then sliding it out. Reed switches are activated by a magnet and as the water starts to fill the tank you will see a small impeller spin round.
This has a small magnet in it and as it passes the reed switch causes the switch to close for a short time. This generates a pulse and this what the control unit is looking for.
My reed switch was short circuit - you can test it with multi meter and a magnet; it should high resistance until you place a magnet next to it at which point it closes the contacts together and thus short circuit. If it doesn't change state its faulty. I changed mine for a reed switch out of a house bulgar alarm door contact that i didnt need. Dishwasher working perfectly now! Be very careful though a reed switch has a glass envelop which is very easy to break.Good luck.
