hi all. got a 5yr old diplomat adp8112. missus said it was making a strange noise so opened the door, she thought not much water in it and heater element very hot. opened and closed door a few times, it carried on washing and heating water but with lights flashing an error code- delicate on, strong on, super flashing. it then stopped and did not empty, i have checked the thermostat reset button it ok. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Re: diplomat adp 8112
Could you indicate which lamps numerically counting from the left are on and flashing please. ie furthest left =1 furthest right =5

Hmm.
Those lights shouldn’t come on in that sequence – they don’t correspond to any known fault code for that model.
My guess would be that the side chamber / air break / call it what you will has clogged up and needs a good clean, along with the regen chamber it goes into. Pressure switch hose might also be blocked.
You really don’t want to it to be a goosed timer – MFI retail them at over £100 exc VAT.Craig
Re: diplomat adp 8112
ok, is this something i can tackle myself, i did notice when we bailed out the machine the exit covered by a black flap in chamber under filter, was clogged, which i cleaned as best i could. this chamber seems to be only held in by 4 screws. should i unscrew and see whats what?
Not something I would advise having a go at. You can clean around that flap easily enough but if the machine is clogged up (and remember I’m just guessing here – there are quite a few other things it could be) then it’s probably going to need the side off to really get at it. You could shave with some of these dishwashers once you open them up due to the thin side panels. That, along with the risk of not refitting the pressure switch or a seal properly (easily done), combined with the ever present risk of electrocution means that I would say if it gets to the stage where it’s going to have to be hauled out then it’s time for an engineer.
Try repairs@ for someone local to you.Craig
