Re: Diplomat ADP8101/2 In progress light on and wont start

Hi there, had time to look at it tonight. There wasn’t any water in the bottom but my wife found a fault common to diplomat DWs on another forum. Here it is: This Diplomat problem is common in most modern dishwashers. The fault code AF indicates that the overflow switch is in operation this is situated behind the base panel at the lowest part of the machine centrally in the overflow tray. It is a safety device to stop your kitchen flooding if something malfunctions the tray fills up with an inch or so of water and activates the cutout overflow switch. Most common cause is blocked filter so simply take out and clean filters, remove the 4 torque screws bottom front panel take panel off mop up water in tray this deactivates the cutout overflow switch and everything works again as simple as that DO NOT FORGET TO ISOLATE IE SWITCH OF POWER TO DISHWASHER BEFORE MOPPING OUT WATER FROM TRAY!!!! Note if it is a late model youmay have to press both buttons TOGETHER on far right to reset, DONT FORGET IF INTEGRAL YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE DECOR DOOR PANEL TO ACCESS TOP TWO SCREWS OF BOTTOM PANEL A WELL AS THE PLINTH DECOR PANEL. GOOD LUCK!! This is a really simple job 15 mins tops

I couldn’t get to the overflow tray but when I pulled it out the water spilled over the top so i mopped it up and hey presto!!! 🙂
