Service No:NK9148100161
Customer just rung about this D/W. They have just moved into this house, machine was already installed. Complains that the D/W will work normally sometimes whilst at other times it will just “click right through the programmes”.
Any pointers?

Hi Jim,
Take the door off and check all the thick wires going through to base, used to do lots of these in the dark ages 😆 Appliance made in Nov 1991.

Re: Philips,Whirpool ADP279
Went to this early today. All wiring and for that matter everything else looks perfect, it doesn’t look to have had much use, however it has been stood for well over 12 months. I did notice that customer was using Finish 4+1 tabs, and it had a half full rinse aid dispenser set on 6 ( Max). 😥
She also said that even though she has filled the salt container the salt warning light will not go out. whatever I did by removing door and poking around, when I came to try it the salt light had gone out. It has apparently completed its cycle without any problems on odd occasion.
I set it to rinse, it drained, then started to fill. It stopped filling but didn’t appear to have enough water in it. Then it drained again for a few seconds, then started to fill again. It then went into drain for about 30 seconds before the progress indicator/timer started to click along. It went right to the end and after flicking back, started to repeat the process. Tried a few different programmes with the same result 😕
Visual inspection of the base reveals no obvious faults, bone dry and clean as a whistle.

Check the High Pressure P/Switch to the left of the motor, The pipe to theses used to get blocked and cause all sorts of faults.

Is that right at the back, all the pipes I could see were clear, couldn’t pull it right out due to dodgy installation. It will be removed in time for my next visit.

Re: Philips,Whirpool ADP279
Another quicky, whats the best way to lay these down, back, left or right side. ❓
jim.Re: Philips,Whirpool ADP279
Just been back to this beast this morning, managed to get it out.
All internal pipework is clear. The small pressure switch attached to the circulation pump on the left has two double sets of wires attached to terminals 1 & 2. This side of the switch is NC, no matter how hard I blow ( or suck ) I cannot get it to trip. I notice it was described above as a ‘high pressure’ switch. Should I be able to get it to trip or does it require extreme pressure, should it normally be NC ?
the strange thing is the customer says she can eventually get the machine to work by pressing various random combinations of the buttons, this usually needs 4 or 5 attempts, then it seems to function OK. I couldn’t get it to start though. 😥

That rung a bell and after checking with on of my older engineers he confirmed that it is most probably a timer fault, problem is the part became obselete in March this year 481228218062.
