    Can anyone help ??

    I have A diplomat ADP8132, which has completly packed in, I have had a local repair shop look at it and they say the control board is U/S, and is so expensive it is not worth fixing!

    Can anyone shed any light on the cost of these boards and whether or not they are worth fixing.

    Many thanks

    What was the actual fault Stato?

    Most of the PCB/Timers are about the £118 plus VAT mark, so they are worth doing as the appliance is integrated up until a few years old.

    The biggest problem we get with these, and it’s not a critisism of the repairer persay, is that some repairers take them on without knowing the appliance and therefore tend to “guess” at the cause, usually blaming the main PCB/Timer for whatever ails the machine. The problem is that whilst they do fault, it’s not the only reason for the appliance to fail but some faults can make it seem as if the timer is faulty when it’s not. If your repairer doesn’t see many of these machines it is possible that he’s looking at the wrong component being goosed but of course, I could be wrong there.
