    Hi, my Diplomat APM 8702 won’t spin. Begins but then soon stops and all the while the pump is going, pushing out air long after all the water has gone. Other functions appear OK, although long cycle (5) sometimes varies in the time it takes (45-90 mins for a 30Ëš wash). Pump is moving freely and water draining OK.

    Reading old threads suggests a pressure chamber blockage. Is this right, and if so any guidance on where the chamber is and how to dismantle?

    Thanks all

    Possiable module detecting out of balance load.

    No, I have experimented with re-distributing load, running full, running empty etc. Unless of course the module is faulty.

    pressure chamber is in the sump hose it has a small tube coming off it to switch at top, there is a clip on sump hose to remove the plastic chamber and clean out

    mind you just take off the pressure tube from the switch at top and see if it spins then, cos if its still the the same then it probably is the module which is common on these, remember to unplug machine first
