There’s 2 versions of this listed – AHY3310 & AHY3320. Luckily they both use the same fan motor (0FANMTRB), but check the model number in full to make sure it’s not something other than the two above.
It may be that the impellor has seized with gunk – a bit of lube & elbow grease may do the trick.Craig
David,
Assuming it’s not a fault with the control board it may well be the air break/pressure switch hoses clogged up. As clearing these involves hauling the machine out and opening it up it’s not something I’d be advising you to do. Check Repairs@ for a local engineer.

E2 errors:
1st check – sump flap
2nd check – air break
3rd check – air break to pressure switch hose
After that swear, tear out some more hair & prepare yourself for a lengthy investigation.
As Kwatt says there are at least 12 different faults which can throw up an E2.Craig
David,
That’s displaying an E1 error which is most likely caused by water in the base (i.e. somethings been leaking).
It could also be a fault with the anti-flood device (switch or float stuck), a knacked timer or damaged wiring (tend to go at the bottom of the door).
Could also be water in either the pressure switch or the pressure switch hose or maybe even a faulty motor.
Aren’t dishwashers great?
None of these faults are the sort of thing the uninitiated should be trying to tackle as they all involve opening the machine up to some degree.
If it’s just the float or switch getting jammed then that can be freed off from the front after the appliance has been unplugged, other than that check Repairs@ for a local engineer.Craig
N.B. This is assuming that the lights are flashing and not solid as pointed out by Dave above.
Steve,
On most of the Diplomat 5 LED timers the display you descibe (2 RHS lights flashing) does not correspond to a fault code. The display often reverts to this after first flashing in a different sequence which would relate to a fault code.
As Penguin and Kwatt say the model number is essential. Try also to take note of any other light sequences which may come into effect immediately after the cycle ends (or the machine stops as the case may be).Craig
Toni,
That’s the right part number for the APM8620. It should come with the capacitor when ordered.

There’s 2 sections of glass on that door.
The outer door glass (that the handle attaches to) is part number 76X7199 & retails for around £75 from MFI (see weblinks).
The inner door glass is part number 75X1225 & retails for around £24.
Check what part you need.Craig
Hi Jane,
It sounds like your timer needs reset. I’m afraid I can’t detail the procedure here but if you check back through the dishwasher threads there should be some tips on this.

Re: Complaint 😆
A few of these are going around at the moment. Here’s one from a customer at a popular Australian-themed bar in Glasgow:

Dear Wxxxxxxxt,
Please forgive me if I start to sound like an irrate Daily Mail reader but I’ve just had lunch in Wxxxxxxxt and I’m not happy about it. Now I know nothing will happen, well other than you losing my custom, which you won’t lose any sleep over, and me advising my friends and colleagues to dine elsewhere.
Where to begin? The start’s as good a place as any I suppose. Having got over the inital shock of paying £7.80 for a pint and a burger, fair enough the menu was there in front of me, I made my way back to the table on unsteady legs and sat down with my pint. When my pulse rate had lowered to an acceptable level I noticed the table next to me being served, everyone looked happy enough with their order until one of the ladies noticed something wrong with her burger.
Now at this point it may seem that I am a right nosy bastard, but my friend was up ordering his grub and there was nothing on the telly worth watching so any excitement was getting my attention. It seems that the lady had ordered a, wait for it, cheeseburger with no relish and she had received a cheeseburger with relish. No problem to the highly trained staff. After a moment of quizing the woman it was decided that a solution could be found to this sticky issue, and the lad whips her plate away with the assured ease of a seasoned professional. Now as I had been waiting for a wee while I was a little concerned at this point that I may not have seen the last of this particular burger. My cheeseburger, with relish, arrived a couple of moments later in a very similar arrangement to out little friend who had so recently left the area… Obviously burgers tend not to vary much in presentation and stylistic appearance but I was very suspicious that this was the very same burger (I am so cynical, it’s a problem I have been trying to work on). The chips (poor wee souls that they were) being cold raised my suspicion even further… If only I had studied those Sherlock Holmes films more closely an idea may have formed in my vacuous head.
Then I thought I had found an escape route that would avoid any embarrassment on either side.
This cheeseburger seemed to be lacking any identifyable cheese! This gave me the opportunity I had been awaiting. I approached the kitchen, as the waiter was busy standing next to the hatch for a while and I couldn’t get his attention, and tried to inform both him and the “chef” of my plight. After being quite rightly disciplined for standing on the floor which, silly me for ignoring the memo that must have been in my inbox, ‘had been cleaned’ (presumably quite recently) and dragged to the side by my previously unblemished shirt I managed to, as eloquently as I could, inform these examples of antipodean excellence that my cheeseburger was lacking in one of the characteristic ingredients that has made them so popular around the world. Thank the sweet lord that the quick witted waiter reacted so promptly and condescendingly in ordering me to lift up the top of the burger bun otherwise I would have missed the yellowish coating that seemed to be baked in to the bread. My jubilation was hard to define… needless to say I scurried back to my table as fast as I could, making sure that I took a different route in case other parts of the floor had been deignated no-go zones and I had missed those memos as well. When I was safely back at my table and eventually sunk my teeth into my now stone cold burger I was glad that the cheese (only 50p extra) was a wafer thin coating on my bun because after all that excitement I don’t think I could handle actaully tasting any cheese in addition to my satisfyingly cold burger.
On finishing what I could, you can only take so much of a good thing, I was glad that the waiter avoided any further embarrassment on my part by not clearing the table and enquiring if we enjoyed our lunch.
Not sure how to end this now as it’s my first complaint letter/epic-novell, so I suppose I’ll just leave.Regards,
Former Cheeseburger Fan.

Not something I would advise having a go at. You can clean around that flap easily enough but if the machine is clogged up (and remember I’m just guessing here – there are quite a few other things it could be) then it’s probably going to need the side off to really get at it. You could shave with some of these dishwashers once you open them up due to the thin side panels. That, along with the risk of not refitting the pressure switch or a seal properly (easily done), combined with the ever present risk of electrocution means that I would say if it gets to the stage where it’s going to have to be hauled out then it’s time for an engineer.
Try repairs@ for someone local to you.Craig
Hmm.
Those lights shouldn’t come on in that sequence – they don’t correspond to any known fault code for that model.
My guess would be that the side chamber / air break / call it what you will has clogged up and needs a good clean, along with the regen chamber it goes into. Pressure switch hose might also be blocked.
You really don’t want to it to be a goosed timer – MFI retail them at over £100 exc VAT.Craig
Re: diplomat adp5734
Tony, you’ll need to let us know which one you want. Those shafts are part of the valve / switch assembly for the hob / oven controls and they are not all the same.
