    Re: Please help identify this part

    Just in case it helps future googlers!

    It was the pump – this machine has 2 together both identical. One is for drainage one for re circulation.

    The noise was coming from the second of these and you could see once it was out there was too much play in the motor fins (not sure they are called that but that’s what they visually look like!)

    I replaced both as they were quite cheap and I figured if ine had gone wrong the other may follow, so rather than take the machine apart again…

    Ahh, on closer inspection there is a narrow gap at the bottom but it is completely tight at the top so it looks like you were right.

    Spares look cheap enough so will attempt a repair I think.

    Many many thanks, this forum is great! 😀

    There is an ebay seller that offers a PCB test and repair service for these, with 25{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} refund if no fault found and 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} if unrepairable.

    It is about £48 which is a lot cheaper than a new PCB.

    Re: Diplomat ADP 8902 keeps draining, float switch?

    Lights 4 & 5 is not an error code as such but I think usually indicates corruption of the PCB.

    Sorry I cant help more, I have limited knowledge but having just spend several weeks trying everything to fix ours we have concluded that we need to replace it!

    I did send our PCB to a repair place but they tested it and said it was not faulty. I contacted a local engineer and he said that he could spend so many hours trying to diagnose the problem that it really was not worth it.

    Re: Recommend a machine ? Baumatic

    😆 Penguin, you have expensive taste!

    Any particular model you would rate?

    Also, I know Bosch usually get good reviews, anyone rate this one? http://www.laskys.com/kitchen_and_home/ … m03gb.html

    Re: Diplomat ADP 8242 stuck at end of cycle

    I just thought that I would update this again.
    I took the machine apart and the circuit board looks fine, nothing looks in need of soldering etc but the door catch micro switch did look corroded so I have ordered a spare to try.

    I did contact a local engineer but in his opinion it was not worth repairing 😥

    Can I just ask our experts here, how easy will it be for me (someone with no experience but a scientific mind!) to take this machine apart and attempt a repair?

    It is integrated so am guessing it may be tricky.

    I am on an ecnomy drive after replacing our washing machine and freezer in the same week,plus the elderly tumble dryer is making a very strange grinding noise… 🙁

    OK, I have had a play and the catch is working fine. Could it need a new electronic bit? Not sure what the bit with all the buttons is called 😳

    Hi Penguin, thanks for the tip. Do you mean mains power off/unplugged and fix the door catch? Will I need to take the door apart?

    I am determined to fix this before my husband gets back 😆 I notice the screws look like the torx type but my dad has a set of those screwdrivers 😀

    Thanks again!

    Second in from left, with the glass symbol. That is the setting I do most washing on.

    Like I said, it got to the end of the cycle and wont reset to be used again – Grrrrr. Still, it is funny watching the children argue over whose turn it is to wash up – they have never known life without a dishwasher. 😆
