It’s fixed – I HAVE FIXED IT HOOOOOOORAY. I noticed that the capacitor on the wash pump had burst, I managed to obtain a replacement for £11.99 and hey presto its washing my dishes.

You guys have been BRILLIANT – THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU

Re: Diplomat ADP 8221 Part Number

Its turning into a nightmare – I replaced the faulty pressure switch
and the wash cycle goes a bit further. The problem now is that the wash pump just hummmms and gets hot – are you in agreement with this solution ?

Is there a way to free the motor -has it got stuck while not being used for 2 weeks ?

Can you confirm what the cost of delivery will be please.

I might have to re-mortgage at this rate……

Thanks, Dave

Re: Diplomat ADP 8221

The matrix is pretty clean now and no signs of any obvious blockages, so can I ask what other things can cause an E2 error. I am determined to get to the bottom of this.

Thanks again

Re: Diplomat ADP 8221

Hello

I worked on this yesterday evening and have some new developments. The RH side cover was taken off revealing the thin matrix bottle, this had an awful lot of sedament and stuff half way up the bottle, so I thought with my original E3 error code that the water could not pass through, anyway I put the hose into the matrix and have now cleaned it, all other visible hoses are clean. I put it all back together and it works for longer in the cycle but stops with a NEW error code E2 – I have looked on this forum and it is mentioned as a famous error ? but I am struggling to find any real detail the manual states “the dishwasher has loaded too much water and the safety level switch has been tripped” this error is solid and happens with every program I try. Can you advise whats happening and if a swith has tripped where is it and can I rectify this ?

Thanks again guys
D.

Re: Diplomat ADP 8221

Hello (this is deano2) cant access from that account – this is my partners account !

This fault is quite common from the sound of it ? Ok I investigated this as much as I can, just some furter questions – the water left after the machine stops is removed when you power cycle and reset the program to a new program, the machine then fills up again (you can here the mains going into the machine) I have a multimeter and would like to further investigate, I am confident to further test this with your guidance – what readings am I expecting to see for success/failure – I hope it is the thermostat as it easy to replace and quite cheap. BTW this failed some time ago with a similar error and the engineer said he had replaced the thermostat as they had a known problem on this model ?

Thanks in advance. (you guys are very helpful !!!!!!) 🙂
