    Can someone help me before my wife starts to asking me to wash the dishes by hand 🙁 🙁

    Whirlpool ADG332SWH

    This seems to be an intermitant fault, it seems to stop mid cycle and reverts back to rinse mode with the start button flashing 3 times???

    I hold the button in and the pump cuts in and sometimes this clears it and the cycle can be started again other times it just reverts back to rinse again?

    Any ideas welcome please

    Cheers

    F3. 3 Flashes. Heating system defect. Heater or relay on control board defect. Chack also cabling.

    you need to check the heater first remember to unplug mains first

    Measure the heater with a suitable ohm meter 😉
    Unplug appliance first.
    Be looking for app 20-30 ohms reading.

    The heater is powered directly from the computer board. If the heater is showing resistance and you get a very similar reading from the connector to it at the pcb end, the fault more or less has to be the pcb.
