Re: ADP4501/5 Slow Steady Flash? any ideas?

Many thanks
working now 🙂
It simply needed resetting I think!
I took the temp probe out and dried it and all around it again just to play safe, and used a hairdryer on the drain motor and all round that area! then held the start button in for 10 seconds and changed program to reset.
Done 3 test loads now and no problem.

Thanks for all the help.

Re: Anyone know what this is?

Many thanks
now All I have to do is find out why its flashing the green light once a second.

ADP4501/5 HOW do you know when its finished a cycle?

oh pooh! (trying hard not to swear)
After spending ages dismantling and totally cleaning the water indicator
I thought I was on to a winner
However I tried putting it on a rinse to test today
After ages all that happened was the sump filled with water, it heated fine, but then it wont pump out!

Edit found another fault, the drain pump was blocked – see other post asking if anyone knows what this is.

Put the machine on a quick waash and it seemed to be doing it ok, it puimped water in, it got hot, pumped water out again but then the display light started flashing slowly continually
I dont know what that means
I’m assuming it might have been on a dry cycle or maybe finished?

The instruction book is totally hopeless, it dont tell you anything about the programs or how you even know when its on a dry cycle or even when its finished

Is it just me being thick or is there some easy way to know when the machine is finished washing and drying?
or indeed any way other than opening the door and hoping?

At the moment it’s just a continual slow steady flash

I’ve no idea if its an error or if its actually doing something it’s meant to be doing.

Re: ADP4501/5 whirlpool quick question

Many thanks
That was perfect, exactly what I needed in fact.

I followed your instructions here

Four flashes means that no drain has been detected in the time allowed. As you state that the machine is emptying, it is reasonable to assume that the Water Indicator is either full of congealed goo and is being held in the “full” position, or that the microswitch on the back of the unit has failed.

Locate the black grid in the sump at the 3 o’clock position and attack it vigorously with a toothbrush and plenty of hot water. It may scrub clean enough to allow it to reset. If not, you’ll have to remove it for proper cleaning or replacement. It’s a twist fit from under the machine.

I removed the pressure switch and gave it a good cleaning, the inside of it was full of what can only be described as a gooey substance
Tested the microswitch with a multimeter and its switching fine, so Hopefully it will work when I try it tomorrow, after giving the inside of the unit a real good clean.

just for reasurance even though I’m pretty new to this and not yet sure of all the correct terminology as to the parts, I am a fully qualified tv and electronics engineer as well as computers and radio’s and know the precautions regarding power and making sure its removed and checking to make sure there are no live parts even with the power disconnected.
