Re: Diplomat ADP8226 Dishwasher – Error code E3
Can’t say that I recognise this one from memory, but it is a SMEG-built appliance. The code means “no heat detected in the time allowed” – not necessarily heater failure, although it is a distinct possibility. Board failure, temperature sensor failure, safety cut-out failure and broken wiring in the door are all possibilities……..
You will need a test meter to test the element for impedence, and the other circuits mentioned for continuity. Power off, of course.
If the heater has failed, please read the sticky relating to the E2 problem at the top of this forum, as this can often be a “cause and effect” fault.
