Re: Smeg Dishwasher DW1612C Error Code?
Laurence
If the machine doesn’t fill (or drain) within it’s specified time then it can throw up this fault. If there are no blockages in the air break / regen chamber / pressure switch hose / drain hose (+ sink?) or pump then it may be a faulty pressure switch.
The machine, rightly or wrongly, thinks it can’t fill properly. Outside chance there’s a timer fault although this is unlikely.

Try a reset. Do a search for Diplomat or Smeg and Reset in the forum. It’s usually the MFI versions that do this but it might have taken a power surge and defaulted to factory settings. Admittedly factory settings should suit this model but, hey, it’s got to be worth a go ❗

Re: SMEG overflow problem
Anything which stops the spray arms from freely rotating can cause the machine to leak at the front. This may be the result of a failed wash pump which is expensive to replace (>£100) so it’s best to be sure what the fault is before ordering anything.
If Repairs@ doesn’t show anyone in your area Dave Conway has another list which may help or you could try Smeg Service (Servevast) on 0870 444 7002.

Re: Diplomat ADP8242 Leaking around door seal
Listed as a separate part.
766330721 Right Hand Side (£3.75 exc VAT + P&P from MFI 0845 7959 722)
766330722 LHSYou might want to check with Dave if he can get it for you as part of a door seal kit since I do recall seeing this more than once. I don’t have a listing here for any kit, though; only the retainers themselves.
Listen to Dave & Bryan though; they’re not much to look at but they do know their stuff 😉

Yes, there should be a retainer at either side.

There is a pressure switch connected to the fill chamber. After 3 years this chamber might also be clogged up.
Power off if you’re going to have a look :zap: otherwise call in a pro. Try Repairs@ for a local engineer.

Re: Diplomat ADP8242 power button does not function

To test further you’re getting into the guts of the machine now :zap: for which I would rcommend an experienced engineer (Repairs@).
I suppose you could check that the socket is OK by plugging in an appliance that you know to be working OK, such as a table lamp. If the lamp doesn’t work then the fault might be external to the dishwasher.
If you decide to open the machine up to take a look then power off please :plug:

There’s probably a few more we just haven’t come across yet as well.It would seem that no one is able to resist the price of these monstrosities 😡

This is what happens when you get distracted in the middle of a post.

Re: Creda Fan Oven – fan working but oven not heating
I’m afraid that the elements don’t come with fitting instructions and we are unable to post detailed instructions for you for safety reasons (i.e. anyone can read these forums and attempt a repair that we describe which may have potentially disastrous reults depending on the competence of the person involved).
In general, they’re not too bad to fit. Power off first :zap: then take the old one out. Reassemble in reverse order.
If you decide to call in a pro try Repairs@

Re: DIPLOMAT APM 8512

The module is part number 546013300 and retails for £42.15 exc VAT and P&P from MFI.
The timer is part number 516010301, retail £28.84 exc VAT and P&P.
It’s very unlikely that the timer is at fault – if it’s a toss up between the two then it’s much more likely that the module has failed.
Quite often, though, there is some other component at fault and people just assume that it’s the ‘controller’.
I would advise getting a washing machine engineer out to correctly identify the fault as it can be expensive to keep putting in parts in the hope that this cures it.
Try Repairs@ for a local independant repairer.
