Diplomat ADP 8502 problem

[specialbeat]

Hi there, I have the Diplomat ADP 8502 dishwasher.
I have had a problem before where the underneath tray collects water and have successfully fixed the issue a few times now. However, this morning a new error has appeared for the first time, this is what happens.

After 30 seconds the power light and select light flash as well as the pump turning on whilst the lights flash, this happens every 2 seconds and carries on pulsing.

I have checked the underneath tray and it is dry, I have reset the dishwasher by holding the power button down for 20 odd seconds and try again…same thing happens.

Any ideas anyone, Thanks. Steve.
PS: Any ideas where I can download a manual?

Re: Diplomat ADP 8502 problem

its got to be a power supply problem on the programmer from what you are describing. its like the batteries going on your remote control

machine starts, there is not enough power to supply needs so programmer computer crashes, all light go off. prog reboots as power returns and process repeats
there is enough power to programme the unit but as soon as you start a prog its too much
some professionals can fix the board and there is some firms out there that will do it otherwise its a new board

Hi there, thanks Electrofix. That sounds quite likely as when I switch it on, the LED’s dim slightly!!! Anyway, it is working intermittently at the moment….with a little persuasion (frantically pushing buttons, turning the selector knob and opening and closing the door). We thought it may have something to do with the door connection to the actual washer.
So what you are supposing is that it could be the programmer? So would that be located in the door with the selector switch?

Thanks.

not sure where it is on those machines but the door is likely
