Whirlpool ADG 450 fault

[scotland]

I have the above model dishwasher which no longer runs a full cycle. It turns on, waits a bit and then starts this on off pumping cycle which repeats.

I’ve taken the side panel off. Here’s a video -https://youtube.com/watch?v=uRnVKPexbQ8

I’ve read about faults with whirlpool flow meters. Could this be the fault here or something else? Any parts I should check?

Many thanks for any advice.

Re: Whirlpool ADG 450 fault

this looks a timer problem
this model appears in at least 2 types think yours is Smeg built
need the 12NC number to confirm also you model number may not be complete

Re: Whirlpool ADG 450 fault

yes found it board part no 4812 905 08531

only 2 problems

1 I cant promise I am right
2 they don’t mention it but some timers have to be programmed

long shot

take out the timer, open the timer box and post good pictures of both sides of the board

As I say this is a long shot but judging by the fault your in with a chance

see your picture below. item with an arrow feeds the board with power. change it and see what happens, if you feel like soldering

the only thing I don’t know is the distance between the leads on yours. the replacement is 27.5mm

Re: Whirlpool ADG 450 fault

Pleased you’ve come back with a suggestion like this – was hoping you might! I’ve checked the pitch of the existing capacitor and it is also 27.5mm so I’ll go ahead and order that and give it a go. If I can fix this for a quid that would be great. Will report back in due course (going on holiday soon so may be after that). Thanks

Re: Whirlpool ADG 450 fault

Just to give an update which is that this worked perfectly. Thanks Dave!
