I have just attended to this slimline dishwasher with a fault describing of not filling. When I cheked it out, it makes a lot of noise of pumping out then some kind of knocking/clicking noise during fill. Though not much water entered in the machine.
On the display panel there are 6 led lights flashing (all of them!) What does that means?
On the fault code book supplied by UK Whitegoods, there are no mention of this.
Re: Diplomat ACA9102
I really could do with some help here as I am flummoxed by this. I spent a good 3 hours trying to locate a fault with this machine. I will describe what I have done, hopefully someone out there will help me. I am due to do a second look on the machine to investigate it further later this morning.
The fault description of not washing.
When checked it out, it is draining at the start (normal but noisy)
then filled with water (noisy sounds like clicking or vibrating)
Then more of the vibrating noise – sounds as it summat was jammed.
Then it stopped and the panel board showed all 6 led lights flashing.I checked the insulation level – it shows at the plug – 36 mohms – that’s very low reading
I tested for resistance of wash motor 89.9 ohms, the insulation remained at 36 mohms with pump disconnected, checked motor – insulation is very high
– Heater – resistance of 26.9 ohms, insulation remained at 36 mohms with heater disconnected, heater on it own – insulation very high
– drain pump – resistance of 268 ohms, insulation remained at 36 mohms with drain pump disconnected but funny thing this pump insulation is zero though the plug shows 36 mohms while disconnected
I am not convinced that it was the drain pump is the problem (noisy yes but still working well – pump it on way out which would be replaced but it is not the cause of the low insulation)
I have not tried (maybe I ought to – I didn’t have a lot time) the suppressor or thermostat as the fault described doesn’t appears to have any bearings to these components.
I have a feeling that it could have been the wash motor but past experiences with dishwasher of similar faults (Hotpoint Slimline) have proved that it was not the wash motor.
Any thoughts?
Re: Diplomat ACA9102
Chinese built model, the worst one I’ve ever seen, MFI changed the model number because of the bad publicity of the prrevious model number ADP8352, just search for both model numbers and see what you get, happy reading !!
Re: Diplomat ACA9102 – all 6 lights flashing, low insulation
Thanks Jonah!
I attended the dishwasher this morning attempting to a reset, things changed for the worse or better (depend how you see it).
The bottom line is that I told my client to get rid of it – the look on her face was a picture – She paid £400 for it 2/3 years ago – nuff said!
The moral of the story is to know when to walk away from the job. I learnt that after combined 4 hours of faffing about and scratching my head, supping tea and cakes and 25 miles round trip!
