Diplomat ADP8322 d/w (Whirlpool) 6 flash fault.

[aqualectric]

Diplomat ADP8322 integrated dishwasher. 8545 000 15819. 33 0640 008554. (Whirlpool clone).

Machine starts, fills a bit, then faults (6 flashes; “tap closed”). After the fault code beeps, the machine keeps filling until I guess, the OWI shuts off the water intake. So there is no problem with water or valve. I suspected the flowmeter connections so I removed the connector, cleaned, tightened and refitted it. Still faulted. 😕
The flowmeter counts the fill volume and the OWI does final water level; right? So if the flowmeter is not generating a pulse and therefore not operating the reed switch the pcb will fill whilst beeping a fault code.
Is this feasible? 7 beeps / flashes are flowmeter problem normally, so has anyone else had this before?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve.

6 or 7 can be flowmeter. No OWI on this one, just the diaphragm switch. If you’ve got an old moving coil meter, hook that across the flow meter on ohms and see if it pulses. Reed switch failing is pretty common, rather than just the connection issues.

Cheers, Chris!
I suspected it, but now you’ve confirmed it. Only available as the whole air chamber assembly, IIRC?

Yup, or you buy some reed switches in Maplins or the like and start soldering…
