Re: ISE 10 – Does anybody have stock ?
Woo Hoo ! One ISE10 delivered and installed last week. We have been so busy washing we forgot to get online to day so.
Looks like the boat came in.
Very pleased so far and thanks have gone to our local supplier for hanging in there until they arrived.
So now we have one happy wife, although this does mean I’ve got to find her something else for Xmas now 😆 (Good thing she does not read these forums !)
All the best and seasons greetings to all who read.
Bob.
Re: ISE 5 Size – Width Dimension
Ok then,
Is this the clincher that stops me buying ?Have not found the ISE 10 Manual, but have found the ASKO W6222 one.
Page 31 details a built in installation and suggests a minimum gap of 622mm between the units, as well as a depth of 635mm (I still need to check on the depth I have, but it is a standard UK worktop).
Does this mean my gap of 600mm between the units just ‘ain’t gonna cut it’ for an ISE10 at 595mm wide ?
Here is the blurb from the manual
“Built-in installation
ASKO washers can be installed beneath a
cabinet or worktop with a height of 34½” (876
mm). There must be a gap of about ½” (12
mm) all around the machine, including between
the rear edge of the machine’s top
panel and the back wall. The opening width
must be at least 24½” (622 mm). Space must
also be available for the inlet and drain hoses.
See the illustration below for measurements
and positions.”Thanks in advance for any advice (even if it might not be what I would like to hear).
Regards
Bob.
Re: ISE 5 Size – Width Dimension
Once again, thanks for the replies.
Armed with that information and the dimensional data in the ISE brochure, I will set about seeing if an ISE 10 will fit in – not so much the width (As 595 should be OK in 600 gap……Unless you know better ?), but the depth.
The isolation taps are in the cupboard next door under the kitchen sink with the flexible drain pipe passing at high level through the side of the unit to beneath the sink and onto a spigot connector in the sink drainage pipe work.
I guess that is the difference between us mere mortals and you professionals – these are the machines you swear by, as opposed to the ones we the public buy – which we just swear at. :rolls:
If I do go for an ISE 10 – lets hope I never have to try and move it myself (70 plus kilo’s isn’t it?)
Cheers
Bob.
Re: ISE 5 Size – Width Dimension
Thanks for the quick reply.
As you might imagine it is not the reply I was hoping for since the units do measure 600 in between.
Does this mean being forced into the expense of an ISE 10 for the sake of 5mm ? 😯
Now I have a problem – will the 5 fit or not ?
Always the way – make my mind up on something and then a problem arises to make me change my mind.

Re: Diplomat APM8512-1 – Fault
Now there’s a funny thing – forgot I had an account as Beerdrinker as well – Oops, hope that does not break any forum rules. Perhaps I should cancel the Beerdrinker one.
Anyway it was me replying above.
Thanks once more Penquin 45, shame I can’t order from you, but we really are too far away.
Regards
Bob.
Re: Diplomat APM8512-1 – Fault
Well sadly it did not last long. 🙁
We have just returned from a 2 week holiday and a week before we went away it all went wrong again – exactly the same symptoms as I described above.
It is hard to know why a new board would go wrong in exactly the same way as the original.
We did not have enough time to do much about it before we went on holiday and left our daughter at home to wash by hand and use a machine where she works.
Since we have been back the Missus has caught up with the holiday wash by hand and is pretty much demanding a new machine and who can blame her.
Although we like the built in machine with the kitchen unit doors hiding it away, an ISE 5 is looking very attractive with the 5 year guarantee and impressive reports etc. I just need to check local suppliers and support as well as delivery times.
Am I doing the right thing to give up on this Diplomat ? Think it might be the right thing to do, going on the reports about the ISE 5.
Or does anybody think different ?
Regards
Bob.
Re: Diplomat APM8512-1 – Fault
Hi folks,
Just like to let everybody know that the new control module 546021401 is now fitted to my APM-8513 and so far it’s 😀 all round.
Wife is now happy.
Done 3 wash loads today and all working well.Would like to say thankyou to all those who replied to my call for help.
Regards
Bob.
Re: Diplomat APM8512-1 – Fault
A quick update !
Had a very quick reply from the spares department that I thought I would share.
“Hi Bob,
546021401 is a direct replacement for 546021400
Regards
Dave.”
So looks like I’m home and dry, or home and washing again – I hope 🙂
Will report again after fitting.
Cheers All
Bob.
Re: Diplomat APM8512-1 – Fault
OK then, not quite the success post yet.
I ordered the new module and still have some confusion over the part number – it has arrived but I have not fitted it yet.
I ordered the part based on the sticker on the front of the machine – probably not the best thing to do, and now I think I have been saved by the picker/packer sending out the ‘other’ module.
There are 2 stickers on the front of the machine.
One shows the serial number and states the model is APM-8513.
The other one shows the model as Diplomat APM 8512 and ‘Warning this appliance uses different parts’ and lists several part numbers including the Electronic module as 546021400.
I ordered the part as 546021400, however the part that has arrived is 546021401J 0106 on the module itself. The box says 546021401.
I have now checked the old module in the machine (Probably what I should have done in the first place) and it has the part number 546021401 0358.
I guess then that the stickers on the front of the machine are to be taken with a pinch of salt and I should go with the number on the module itself.
However if someone could clear up the mystery – 01 or 00 for what looks like an APM-8513 ?
I have e-mailed UKWhitegoods spares department as well as this post
Hope that all makes sense.
Thanks
Bob.
Re: Diplomat APM8512-1 – Fault
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the speedy response.I shall get a replacement board then as suggested.
As you can probably guess this one is not long out of guarantee, but long enough all the same.
Thanks again – I’ll repost with the results.
Cheers
Bob.
Re: Diplomat APM8512-1 – Fault
Hello Folks,
I was just wondering if this had a happy ending ? I know this post is from a year or so ago, but I have just experienced exactly the same symptoms with a Diplomat APM 8513 – very similar to the one here.
I initially thought it was the pressure switch and set about checking the rubber tube but it seemed clear. A blow down the tube activated the switch and with the power off the Fluke measured continuity with pressure applied.
Is the switch OK ? Certainly seems so – although intrigued by the comments about the switch internals possibly failing I read elsewhere also from the keyboard of Penquin 45 I think.
With the inlet solenoid valves pulsing on and off the water level eventually gets to where it should be and I can hear the heating element come on – so to me it suggests the switch is OK. I even tried with the switch tube disconnected and the pulsing happened again.
The sequence does not carry on to get the wash cycle started and even with the temperature set to 0 it seems that the heating element is coming on.
I can manually move the cycle control round to drain and the pump does it’s stuff and empties the machine.
Sound like a control board problem then ?
Any suggestions greatfully received – thanks in advance – and if NTT reads this after all this time, I’m sure you have an answer.
Cheers
Bob.
