Re: commercial machines

Thanks Spimps, any ideas where i could get some technical reading material from as i’ve been trawling the web with no luck. I will be contacting some manufactures for info regarding their machines after the Easter hoilday so might get some joy there.

Re: Training material

Andy, if you’re still looking then i found this book online called “Troubleshooting and Repairing Major Appliances” By Eric Kleinert which you might find interesting, not sure if it’s American or English and depending on where you look it’s also available as a download.

Re: Training material

Thanks Andy i will as soon as i get five minutes. :tup:

Re: Training material

Thanks Iadom, I did have a look on their website already, but as they only do that and a tumble dryer manual i’m a bit hesitant as ideally i would want him to have just the one book that would cover everything (less likelihood of him forgetting to bring it to work) but that wouldn’t matter if i could find something that’s laptop based.

Thanks again Martin :tup:

Re: zanussi zwf1220w

Thanks for the reply Mertin, yes the motor is fine, it doesn’t get as far as the rinse spin on the 40 economy wash but everything is working on every other program.
This is/was going to me my new lend machine, so i decide to check all the programs out between other jobs and the result is that the fault is just with the 40 economy wash, so that would be the board i would assume. I’ve never had to configure a new zanussi board before so i was wondering do these boards get “confused” and would it be worth doing the configuring on the existing board to reset it?

Re: whirlpool ADP962 DISHWASHER FAULT

Thanks Penguin, i checked the connections on the selector board as i suspected the origin of the flickering was from there and all seemed ok. To be honest i thought the main fault was a faulty pcb as i didn’t know about the ntc being check at the beginning, you learn something new every day 🙂

Re: whirlpool ADP962 DISHWASHER FAULT

Thanks for the info Penguin, i did check the error page but couldn’t find the Constance flash error. would the ntc error cause only the drain pump to work? i would have thought that any ntc error would be picked up when it reached that part in the cycle?.
Also what i forgot to mention was when the program dial in off and you then turn it to the first position it pumps out as it should, however if you turn it to the first position slowly then half way the water valve kicks into life and the led’s on the fascia flicker all the time.

Re: whirlpool ADP962 DISHWASHER FAULT

LightingElectrical wrote:HAVE A WHIRLPOOL ADP962 D/W SERVICE NUMBER:854296210410

WILL ONLY DO A RINSE FOR 3MINS, THEN DRAIN PUMP STARTS AND START BUTTON LIGHT FLASHES. AFTER THAT,EVERYTIME YOU TRY A WASH, ONLY THE DRAIN PUMP OPERATES EVEN AFTER IT ACCEPTS ANOTHER WASH. ONCE THE PUMP TIMES OUT,THE START LIGHT FLASHES AGAIN. CUSTOMER REPLACED MAIN MODULE HIMSELF(COST HIM £130 SO HE WONT GIVE UP NOW!).
CHECKED INLET SOLENOID: 2K RANGE: 3.6
CHECKED HEATING ELEMENT: 2K RANGE : 28.2 .NO EARTH LEAKAGE

THE ONLY THING I DIDNT GET A READING FROM WAS A PROBE IN THE BASIN (CALLED A FEELER NTC, WHAT IS THIS?) WAS IT OUT OF RANGE AS MY METER DOES NOT HAVE A 200K SETTING?
my customer has the same fault with the same model but it doesn’t flash a error code at all just a continued flash from the start led. my knowledge is limited with whirlpool dishwasher, any ideas?
