Diplomat ADP 8500 Dishwasher – Pulsing.

[KEVSWI]

Hi,

When turning the dishwasher on today it worked for a few seconds but then started pulsing. Both the lights on the front pulse simultaneously and it sounds like the pump is trying to pump the water.

Any ideas?

Check for leak underneath (like last time 😀 ). If the motor terminals have got wet, you can get these symptoms. Otherwise, most likely the compuer itself.

Power off, if having a look.

The lowest point of the machine is an “undertray”, which can fill if the appliance leaks for any reason. Access is best achieved by removing the decor door, then the front lower panel.

Ensure power is off before touching anything.

Drain water, get everything dry.

This is a common culprit:

Observation to find the leak only course of action.

Cheers Penguin mate, thanks for the advice,

I have now dried out the bottom area and the dishwasher is now running, going to leave the cover of whilst this is going to try find out the cause of the fault.

Judging by the link you also sent i would say it is fault 1.

Are there any tips you could offer to try diagnose correctly?
