Re: ADP 8322 – Not filling & fault codes change!!

Thanks Penguin,

Diagram handy pointing out some of the bits that i wasn’t sure what they actually were (ntc etc although not sure what it does! Haha)!?

As for the WI though it doesn’t help me test it (if you can?). For example: Is it possible to put a voltmeter “across” two of the three contacts (in order) on the WI and open / close the (diaphragm) switch and check the resistance (i.e. seeing whether the switch is open/closed when it should be etc?) In essence how and what could i do to test it?

Thanks again – much appreciated!

Re: ADP 8322 – Not filling & fault codes change!!

Thanks Penguin!

That makes more sense now about how the reed switch works!

As for the WI i think it sounds like that then that has the fault (if codes 4,6 & 7) relate to it!

It sounds like what you are talking about (the microswitch) is the gubbins inside the WI? If so how can i test it to confirm / find diagram etc?

Thanks again for your help!

For your info it is currently working (still!) but i have a feeling it won’t be long!!!……………………….

Re: ADP 8322 – Not filling & fault codes change!!

Hi Penguin,

Thanks for your reply! Bit confused with this still though…..could do with further advice (maybe more detail about the operation of the reed switch?)

I had read all about Marauders fun on his post and the subsequent bits/advice. When i had the machine in bits i checked (as per his/your advice) the pcb at the bottom of the flow meter for resistance. (Not sure if correct way but i left it connected and put the probes directly “across” the circuit board. I got 0 ohms (i.e. continuity)at first when it initially started up and then i think at the point that it started to fill/run it changed to a much bigger reading (i think from memory it was about 1.5 kOhms. I presume if it is working 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} it should read 0 ohms and then go to “open circuit”? (i.e. does the reed switch completely “make” and “break” the circuit. (In which case mine is “making” and “nearly but not quite breaking”)? . Therefore the reed switch is working but not correctly?

The confusing issue is that it doesn’t always show the same fault code- has sometimes been 6, a couple of times 7 but mainly 4!?

Am i right in assuming it could then be (1) the pcb (above) or (2) the WI diaphragm sticking in either the “full” or “empty” position and therefore telling the machine that it has already drained / filled etc….. (WI diaphragm seems to be quite a common fault so mine may have “gone” inside even though the diaphragm is “moving”?)

Even weirder – at the minute the machine has been fiddled with & reset (numerous times) and is temporarily working correctly (touch wood!) although i assume either:

(a) my numerous connecting / disconnecting of things has sorted out a loose / dirty connection unwittingly………

or

(b) it’s only working for the mo and is about to pack in again (intermittant fault) – that being the case does it sound like the WI or the Fill Chamber PCB that could be the more likely judging by the bit above & the symptoms (changing fault codes etc)?

As always your help is appreciated!

Penguin,

Excellent – and helpful as ever!

Cheers!

Re: ADP 8322 – Not washing/spinning!!??

Sorry…………….me again!

I take it the capicator hasn’t got an electrical connection then (guess it’s built in?) as the old one didn’t have one!?

Penguin,

Thanks for your help!

Not too worried about the clips as when i replaced the pump hose (after i cut it off) i used a jubilee clip one end and two cable ties (next to each other) as i knew they would be a pain. Didn’t leak (mind you didn’t wash much either! Haha!)

Many thanks!

Re: ADP 8322 – Not washing/spinning!!??

Pretty sure it is the impellor as it doesn’t look right!

The question being now is that i have ordered a new one from the shop (4812 3615 8434) that it says is the right one fitted to this model.

Is it a straight one for one swop though as looks different in the picture. (e.g. are all the connections / fittings the “same” just maybe in a slightly different place etc?)

Thanks AGAIN!

Penguin – Re: ADP 8322 – Not washing/spinning!!??

Penguin,

Ah thats’s why i can’t find one then!

I currently have dishwasher in bits! I have removed the pump and taken it apart – i have noticed that the impellor spins on the magnetic piece it is connected to but if you hold the impellor the magnet still spins (in effect the impellor will “freewheel”. It will not come off / fall off (like in the article) but i’m assuming that is the fault (i.e. once the weight of water is on it it won’t turn?)

Thanks for your help!

Re: ADP 8322 – Not washing/spinning!!??

Thanks for your reply!

Are you saying that you are pretty sure it’s the pump and not the capacitor from the symptoms? (I’m sure i read on one post that if you can hear “noise” when running it’s more likely the capacitor and if not the pump, so am a little confused!?)
