Re: Diplomat ADP8234 – Error Code E1 – Please Help!
Sorry – just two more questions:
* How do you get to the area below the main cavity? I assume the access is from underneath or ’round the back’?
* If I were to reseal the thermostat myself what sort of sealant should I use? Are there likely to be suitable silicone sealants available in my local DIY store (i.e. for use near eating utensils, high temperature, fully submerged)?
Cheers,
John.

BTW – I’ve just thought – given that the LCD display seems to be missing the top-right two segments of the first two 7-segment character displays – the error code *could* be E7 and not E1. The manual I’ve got doesn’t mention this error code, but you never know…
Re: Diplomat ADP8234 – Error Code E1 – Please Help!
Well I ran it empty and without detergent this evening and I’m afraid I got the same error (E1) with the same amount of water in the bottom (just touching the filament, but this time clear and hot instead of soapy and hot).
It would appear I have a genuine, non-detergent related problem. I’ve had a brief look around the main cavity of the dishwasher and noticed that the small sensor that sits directly below the filament on the left hand side (is this the thermostat?) seems to have lost most of its waterproofing. By this I mean that the rubbery sealant that should seal the bottom of the black rubber surrounding the sensor appears to have peeled away. Could this be the source of my leak?
Also – where does the water leak to and where is the float switch? I assume there is a cavity below the main cavity but how do you access this?
Many thanks for all your help,
John.

Thanks – I’ll give it an empty run tonight and see what it does.

Thanks for the help Penguin45.
Are there some specific parts of the machine worth checking to see if I can identify the leak? If I’m understanding you correctly you’re saying the float switch is underneath the main cavity of the dishwasher… is there an easy way to get down there?
After searching this forum using Google Site search (the inbuilt forum search seemed to miss many posts) I noticed someone saying that 4-in-1/3-in-1 tablets should not be used with these machines. We have been using these tablets and I have noticed quite a bit of froth previously when the machine has finished. What’s the general advice on these forms of detergent?
Many thanks again,
John.
