Diplomat dishwasher bleeping showing FA - Dishwashers

SOURCE: Dishwasher; Diplomat 8322. Set it to wash on any

Apparently there is a sensor above the normal water level where it drains. The water level rises above the sensor if the filter is full of gunge and the water cannot drain properly. The sensor is activated and stops the cycle. You have to remove the filter mesh, clean it, drain out the excess water (I did this with a turkey baster!) and replace the filter. Then everything works again!

This fixed mine, the base was flooded. I took off the bottom front pannel and discovered it full of water and sludge, I mopped it out and cleaned it the best i could and made sure that none of the wires/connections were wet. (I unplugged it first ! ). Then put the cover back on and tried it.
Works like a dream now.

I know this is better late than never but i've been searching half the morning for an answer and only just found a suggestion that steered me in that direction. So i thought i'd answer this so that someone else might not waste the morning like i have.

Have Fun

SOURCE: Diplomat intergrated dishwasher error code FA

Hi,

The wash cycle finishes too early and
the p / 6 indicator light flashes
(fault code F A appears in the
display)
– the drain hose is kinked
– the drain pump is blocked
* Turn the program selector to the f
*STOP" position (the fault code goes
out).
* Correct the fault.
* Pump away the water and start the
program again (see additional
program "DRAIN" and "Switching
on").

Goodluck,
Please don't forget to rate me as fixya..

get model number on machine, post it here so we know which machine it is or search internet for "diplomat error codes", enter your model number and error code and it will tell you what it is. Each machine has different error codes.

SOURCE: what does error code fa

It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors or feedback from the inputs. You can identify the error only if you can run thrrough the functions of the dishwasher. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/PUMP MOTOR/DRAIN to work when it is commanded .If this does not happen then the voltage at these points must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage/drive from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.

If the water flows then the flow should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor. The water pressure must be good and the spraying must be seen to be good. If there is low pumping or pressure then the spray arms will not turn around to inject with pressure. If so the pump must be checked for clogging.

Finally after the wash the drain valve will be activated, the water is allowed to come in to rinse and then finally the drain valve/pump activated so as to drain off all the water.

Make sure that a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so check the command from the program module and then the executing device be it the valve or motor or pump.
