Diplomat ADP8352 sump flooded – what to do?

Hi folks

How can I un–flood the sumpy bit of my dishwasher, and what should I do to prevent it happening again?

Thanks

Power off – remove wooden plinth (kick strip) from fitted kitchen directly in front of dishwasher. You will now see a black plastic inspection cover. Remove this and then place an old towel through the opening and mop up without touching any of the wiring. When it is dried out thoroughly leave to allow the air to circulate underneath and then retest tomorrow. Please be aware that these are prone to leakage and if the same occurs shortly you will need an engineer out to repair the leak.

Sump is the central area under the filters, standing water in the bottom is normal. Do you mean the tray under the machine? If this has flooded, you need to pull the machine out, throw down some towels and (with the power off) lean the machine to one side and wait for the flow to stop.

The usual cause is excess foam caused by multi-function tablets – change to a single function tablet, powder or Fairy Bursts. These are all low-froth products. Also, once the machine is running, never open the door until the programme has finished.

If the problem repeats, there may actually be a leak and further invstigation will be required.
