Diplomat ADP8224 The thermostat on my dishwasher (Diplomat ADP8224) has tripped and requires resetting. This has been carried out by an engineer who seems to reset somewhere under the machine. I have tried to locate the reset but with no success. Any ideas where this is and how to carry out reset

question edited for clarity
Question moved to Dishwashers

There seems to be an issue with blinking lights on these.

I just fixed my Maytag's bi-metal switch. I smacked it with the plastic end of a screwdriver. Problem solved. You may have venting issues in the dishwasher if it's continually overheating.

I had this same problem, which required a new heater. The thermostat tested fine. A bypass of the thermostat switch was attempted and the unit still would not work. The reset switch had never tripped to indicate a problem.

The problem I have encountered in this is the thermostat is going bad and tripping out. Inspect the ends of the elements and make sure ther eare no black ends on the wires showing elements may be shorting out causing thermostat to trip. More than likely change the thermostat out and you should be good to go.
They are not to exspensive and local hardware stores carry them.

Thermostat is probally going bad if it keep's tripping out. May need to replace it.

chances are the units fuse has tripped on the control board.requires disassembly but is not a difficult repair...

Disconnect power for longer than 45 seconds.

Hello,

My dishwasher a diplomat 12 program (hja8640) was doing exactly the same where every now and again when turned on at the plug it would trip. After engineers coming out several times and failing to fix it, they condemed it. New one was supplied, however did exactly the same thing. The electrician came back, checked the RCD power breaker and this was fine. It was then discovered that some dishwashers and washing machines send out a lot of earth leakage, combine this with other appliances on in the house can be enough to trip.

Soloution. The electrician removed the kitchen circut from the RCD breaker and intalled another breaker RCD just for the kitcehn loop, this therefore means that the kitchen has a seperate trip from the rest of the house, and touch wood, has solved the problem. This mind you has taken about three months to work out so i hope it saves you some time.

Always use a fully qualified electrician though.

Thanks.

I would disconnect the heater then run the unit.If it runs the heater is bad,if the fuse blows again the motor is most likley bad.make sure there are no water leaks.let me know.happy holidays
