Re: Diplomat ADP 8101 – Water leak at hinges

Cheers Penguin – problem solved. I guess it mmust hae been the heat sealing of the bottom rotor that did it. But I’ll order a prope one from the parts dept.

Thanks again

Re: Diplomat ADP 8101 – Water leak at hinges

Thanks for replying so quickly Penguin

Forgot to mention – there was a split seam on the lower rotor. I tried to superglue it over night- but that didn’t hold. So I heat sealed it instead. Is there a reliable way to do it? I did it with a hot knife !!
I also took up an extra notch on the door latch (not that that’ll make a huge difference).
I’m toying with the idea of putting polyurethane baffles in the bottom of the doot to stop the “sloshing” action of the water as it comes under the inner edge of the door.

The 3 sided gasket you mention – is for the LHS, top and RHS of the door (ie a replacement for the one fitted already)- or for the lower edge of the door?

The pressure switch was in pretty good condition…likewise nothing that I cleaned out had much evidence of contamination. I didn’t strip the salt chamber – though that seemed to have a kind of pink crystalline discolouration visible through the plastic.

Cheers
