    Help
    ALL the lights are permanently on and the display shows 88.
    I have tried everything – including holding the start button in for 10 secs but to no avail

    It sounds like the control PCB software has “locked up”.

    Try down powering the whole machine for an hour or two.

    Re: ADP 5966 Fault

    This appliance is quite complicated with its fault codes….are you sure you have 88 and not F8,F9,FB or FC in the display.

    The electronics also lock into the last programme once a programme has started and you can not clear this by powering off, sorry.

    However if the appliance is functioning correctly by pressing and holding the start button for longer than 1.5 seconds..should reset the programme. If this does not happen, then the lower PCB control card is probablly suspect…..if it does happen (the reset) and the appliance fails immediately on restarting then the fault is most likely an NTC(like a thermostat).

    However most problems with the lower card are because of water leaks, the bottom tray is design to catch the leaking water so that an anti flood device can trip to alert the filling system of the leak…..

    Basically check for a leak and if this has shorted out the lower PCB control.


    If you are not up to this then use our directories to find a repairer where we have a member, the lower PCB comes in at £135.00 inc but the cause of failure should be established 1st.

    hi,
    E3 is the main control card at fault, fits at the back as you look from the back on the right hand side.

    Not easy to get hold off and will require the exact model number and serial number.
