Hi Guys
Our ADP4500 has worked perfectly for 8 months, then this weekend it tripped all the mains off (Master RCD) mid-cycle and cannot be powered on without immediately tripping the entire mains again. Machine is full of water. Any remedies you can think of?
Cheers.

Most likely water in the undertray as well, hence the tripping. At 8 months old, I wouldn’t mess with it – send for Whirlpool.

Many Thanks for your reply.
We bailed out the machine and angled it backwards – quite a quantity of water exited the machine from the underneath. I also removed all filters and threw out some of the debris that was in the large reservoir underneath. Is it feasible for me to access the undertray area without too much ado?
Machine is now being left to ‘dry out’ and has been disconnected from power and water. What are the chances of it resurrecting itself if left idle and dry? It’s been a good machine up until now and has made no untoward noises or fault reports.

You’ll need to remove the lower front kick panel for access, the undertray is retained by two screws underneath.
The single commonest leak is this little horror:

I will give it a go tomorrow. Trouble is, we bought it off my parents as they never had any use for it, and the cost of the new pump is greater than what we paid for the machine.
It might mean we have to bite the bullet and get a new dishwasher.
Nonetheless, I’m impressed by the knowledge base on this website and will certainly be studying it before I make another appliance purchase.

Happy Ending?
The ADP4500 has been left to dry all week, tipped up at an angle with kick plate removed. We switched it on today, have washed 2 loads and so far (fingers crossed) everything is working OK.
Just wondered if others had had any luck simply ‘drying out’ their machines?

Keep an eye on it……..
Multifunction tablets (especially 4- and 5-in-1) are notorious for generating a large amount of foam, which can work its way into the tray. Not mopping up after filling the rinse-aid up can also produce a lot of foam.
