Help me sleepyhead

[Baker1968]

Hi sleepyhead I have a diplomat 8322 the long number is 854500015810. I have read other blogs to find out fault, to no avail. Mine continually beeps the rinse light is permenantly on and the start light continuosly flashes. I have tried resetting by holing down the start button, I then can change programs, but as soon as i shut the door it reverts back to beeping and draining.
Thanks

Dont know the specifics of your machine but most are whirlpools I believe

I usually find that they have leaks (check underneath in the bottom tray)
Blocked pressure chamber
Duff electronics

All the above can cause the drain pump to run continually

I have found this can help

WHIRLPOOL

Whirlpool Dishwasher Error codes.

F0. 10 flashes. Sensor Break (Only shown in test programme. Not visible to customer).

F1. Single flash. NTC Break. NTC open circuit/short circuit or ambient temperature less than 3 Celsius

F2. 2 Flashes. Water leakage. Floater switch LS6 in drip tray has switched.

F3. 3 Flashes. Heating system defect. Heater or relay on control board defect. Check also cabling.

F4. 4 Flashes. Draining failure. Drain pump, control board OWI or water indicator defect.

F5. 5 Flashes. Spray arm Blocked (not present on VBL version. On 1 digit display will show as F and flashing start led).

F6. 6 Flashes. Water valve (WV1) is switched on but flow meter (FM) senses no impulses (less than 10 impulses in 10 secs) and the water indicator (WI) is at a low level
Water Valve Closed. Water inlet hose blocked.
Water inlet valve (WV1) defective. Flow meter (FM) defective (leads to FM failure)

F7. 7 Flashes. Flow meter failure. Flow meter defect. Water inlet valve defect or water inlet hose blocked.

F8. 8 Flashes. Water level failure. Sieve strongly dirty or big amount of foam inside to less water.

A fault with no fault code indication = faulty module

These codes should cover the entire range of Whirlpool dishwashers.

Test Mode


Make sure the appliance is empty of water before running Diagnostics as it does not pump out before starting to fill and therefore you could overfill the appliance.
Open the door and set the program to the first program. (Normally rinse).
Turn the power off.
Press and hold the start button and while holding turn the power on.
After a little while the start button will flash, release the button.
Press the start button once and close the dishwasher door.
The machine will now run through a diagnostic routine.
If memory serves me right it takes about 20 mins.
The machine will stop during diagnostics if an error is found and will display the error code. If no error is found it will complete the diagnostics and end the programme.

To exit diagnostics at any time just press and hold the start button till the programme is cancelled

Thanks for replies it appears to be NTC break. could you enlighten me on what that means, is it repairable and how do you do it???

 

[rocks1]

ntc is on the pcb .very expensive also part of mfi gone bust

 

[Leccy758]

NTC is usually found inside the door attached to the soap dispensor and quite often with these hard wired to the pcb

The PCB is usually branded whirlpool so you may have some joy from them or from a supplier

(the error may say NTC but it could be any part of the circuit containing it)

If confident it may be worth looking and seeing if the pcb has a dry joint or a bad connection

 

[Baker1968]

Hi leccy is the ntc als known as the feeler probe? could you advise me on how to check for dry joint or bad connection?
Thanks for your help

 

[Baker1968]

thanks all for advice just fixed problem, broken wire from NTC to PCB (with the help of my electronically minded bro-inlaw). I'm elated it's saved me a fortune. I'm a carpenter and off on a crusade on diynot to see if there is any1 I can help.
THANKS. X
