Re: Diplomat ADP8242 Leaking around door seal

Thanks to all you guys,

I spoke to my wife about what I was asking the forum about
and she replied ” hang on a minute, I think i’ve seen one
of those in the odds and sods drawer”……….now she says!.
Anyway, safely put back in place and i’m in the process of
running it now but all seems well. I did check the paddle
though just in case but all seems ok there.

BTW I searched high and low for the o-rings required to cure
my original leak in the water softener and eventually got them from
a great company called Hanshell Mouldings, found through the net, so
if any body needs these I can recommend them.

thanks again

Keith

Thanks Craig,

I was in the process of getting a picture of the one I DO
have to show what I meant but you obviuosly know. My next
question –(dont want much!!) is would these two come with a
door seal if I ordered it?

cheers

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for taking the time. I’m not sure what you mean
by “paddle” though.

Dave,

The door seal starts at bottom left, goes up and over and finishes bottm right and doesn’t look as though it should go across the bottom. At the bottom of the left hand side there is what appears to be an extra piece of rubber which is roughly 1 inch long and is moulded in a shape similer to a boot. The door closes onto this. Any clues?

Re: Diplomat ADP8242 Water Softener Leak

Thanks guys,

I have now managed to get the softener unit off and the o-rings
out. It looks as though one of them has shrunk over time as when
I swapped them around the other side leaked so I will be off to MFI
today to get a couple of replacements.

regards

Keith
