Re: Whirlpool ADP 4501/5 Fault
Well after the Christmas break I decided to give the repair place a try and I am glad to say they were very helpful.
I sent the pcb away, they confirmed there was a fault fixed it and sent it back next day!
All in all it cost me £47 including p&p, and that was non trade prices too.
Thanks again Penguin for giving me the confidence that it was probably the pcb to fault. I now have a fully working dishwasher and not had to shell out for a new one.

Re: Whirlpool ADP 4501/5 Fault
I managed to strip down the dishwasher today fairly easy as long as you have a T screwdriver! Everthing looks in order reseated all the connectors and no sign of burns or breaks in wires.
Obviously spending £70+ on an new pcb worries me as if it wasn’t down to that I would have wasted a lot of money.
I have noticed a company that sells referbished and also test and repairs pcb’s with refunds if it does not cure the problem http://www.qualityelectronicrepairs.co.uk do you have any experience of using these or other companies.
Thanks again

Many thanks Penguin for your advice, I guess I have nothing to lose in checking components (with the power off 🙂 ) Guess I know now what I am doing in the Christmas break!
Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
Re: Whirlpool ADP 4501/5 Fault
Thanks again Penguin for your reply, kinda guessed it would be a board fail. Just hoped it would have been something silly I had done.
Is it worth repairing? or should I just replace it with another?
Are Whirlpools prone to this type of fault as my previous one (Electrolux) lasted forever, or am I just unlucky. Any other advice or recomendations?
Many thanks again for taking the time to respond!
Why do they fail just after the warranty runs out and you need it the most (sigh) 🙁
Manually wash the dishes (forgets how to do that) thank goodness for children!
