I've read a bit about problems like this and manaaged to fix my ADP8322.

First check how many times the light is flashing. This indicates a fault number (flash 4 times, pause, flash 4 times = F4).

In my case it was flashing 6 times. Apparantly this indicates a filling fault. After searching around quite a bit and asking for professional paid advice via (justanswer.com - paid for service for reasonable price - £11 in my case) I found that it was a problem with a small circuit board (also known as a PCB - printed circuit board) which has a micro reed switch (part of the flowmeter).

How it works is once water comes through into the machine and spins a wheel, this then has some affect on the reed switch (I think it opens it). This tells the machine that water is flowing into the dishwasher.

This PCB is found on the left hand side of the machine under the casing.

Getting the casing open is not so hard. In order to do do this, you will need a special tool which you can buy from most hardware stores. Very much like an Allan key on a screwdriver. It is called a Torx and the size you will need is TT15.

There are about 8 torx screws to remove.

Once you have the side off, you will see a big plastic container where the water comes in. On the bottom of this is a connection and the PCB in question. You can remove the PCB altogether without damaging it if you pull it out gently with some needle nose tweezers.

On this connection the contact between the PCB and the plug is probably dirty and you need to clean this. I scratched the circuit board connections with a screwdriver and then scratched the plug connections. I then bent the plug connections down so that it would have a better contact with the PCB.

I thought I had done this fine the first two times and was about to give up when I tried tweaking the plug connectors even more. Put it all back together and you should hopefully have a working machine!

Hi there not sure if anyone can help but would be extremely grateful if you can, have recently moved into a property that has a DIPLOMAT ADP8322 DISHWASHER has seemed to be working fine for about 2 months now all of a sudden it wont do any cycle including just a rinse it starts up then you hear the water flowing into the machine and it starts to beep continuously when i open the door the light is flashing 7 times which i believe is a flow meter problem, have removed the side and squeezed together the 2 pins and replaced back into the pcb and it is still not working, if anyone knows what the problem could be or even better how to solve the problem i would be very grateful

Hi.Am posting this in case it can be of any help to anyone.All programs would revert to continuous bleeping plus the confirm programme light flashing until power was shut off ,also soap dispenser would not open.I found the black filter in base of sump was partially blocked.This is to be seen best by looking at inside of sump from the left using a torch.This filter is INSIDE the machine.Machine now works like a new one.

Hi
We had teh same fault, this dishwasher is made by wirlpool, and the service manual is the same as the ZM605... see link to pdf service manual below.

The fault is a F4 drainage fault, this can be caused by a blockage or a faulty Feeler NTC part 691 0 ( see part list and exploded with in manual).

Check your drainage first, then do a reset by holding power button on left and programme button on right for 10 sec. Finally if this doesn't help you will need to replace the feeler NTC 691 0
