Seems to work on delicates but on normal wash when the heater comes in the relay engages for five seconds then the drops, the whole thing stops and then does a double beep and retsarts from same point without heater. Tries again after about two minutes. Continues without stopping if you have disconnected the heater feed from the board but obviously doesn’t then heat the water. This led me to believe (surprisingly) that the board was reading some other device after five seconds. Heater circuit seems to go via heater and overheat stat through pressure sensor and back to the main switch. Disconnected other wire from pressure sensor (presumably used for filling) in case there was some leakage across but that makes no dfference. Also tried manually wiring the heater once the realy kicked in, in case there was some kind of decoupling fault on the board. This has the same effect as when connected via the board.
Re: Diplomat ADP8242 – help please!
You seem to know how to use a meter?…in which case get a reading of the dispenser solenoid and gently flex it’s terminals up and down while you do 😉
If the problem isn’t there and there are no earthing faults then it will be the pcb itself i’m afraid…they do have diagnostics built in but when a fault condition is detected the program should abort and give a specific fault code indication which yours apparently isn’t 😕
Re: Diplomat ADP8242 – help please!
Thanks Clive. Will check the solenoid. Earthing faults had occured to me and I have given it a once over but will give more thorough attention to that possibility. If anyone has the specs I would be interested to know exactly what the board is reading 5 secs after kicking in the heater relay. Manually connecting the heater 5 secs or more after the relay engages causes an immediate reset, whereas if you connect the heater when the relay kicks you get this 5 second delay.
