Re: Whirlpool ADG7540 cold wash

Thank you. I’ll have a go.

Just getting it out from between the cabinets and returning it to its original position afterwards is the worst part. The housing is razor sharp.

If we decided to replace it, would the existing door panel fit any fully integrated model ? and is it easy to remove?

Thanks, Penguin

Is the heater easily accessible to check the connections?

I followed your instructions last year and repaired a different fault. I don’t feel like giving up on this machine yet?

Thanks for that link Penguin.

Soldering the contacts seems like a good solution. Very comforting to know that others have experienced exactly the same frustrations too!

Re: Whirlpool ADG7540

Thanks Penguin,

I have already cleaned the two strips on the little pcb and the pins on the associated plug and made sure that it is a snug fit (housed in the cavity on the bottom left hand side of the matrix). A month ago it resolved the problem immediately but not so readily this time.

Are there any other contacts that should be cleaned?.
Would cleaning the flow meter be of any value? Can it be accessed or is it intergral to the matrix?
If oxidation is a problem is it generally something that will reoccur?

Re: Whirlpool ADG7540

Just an update. This morning I managed to get the machine to run through a whole cycle uninterrupted. This was just by chance, as a result of my daily routine of pressing the on button to see if the flashing error light would disappear and it did. I then stacked the dishes in and it was back to the same sequence of bleeping and seven flashes. This evening it appears to be working again…..but for how long?

Can anyone suggest a cause for this intermittent fault? Also as a point of interest how high should the water level be in the flow matrix when it has completed a cycle?
