2 lights flash after a cycle on my Diplomat ADP 8221 Dishwasher and the wash is incomplete. Anything I can do to fix it?

I had a similar issue with three lights remaining on
E6 in the manual - the dishwasher is unable to discharge the water from the tank...

I tried the pressing the select button 4 times straight after switching on the appliance (below the lamps come on), then switch it off and then press select button one more time on power up and bingo.... it was reset
Thank you Mr P as that save me money and MFI are no longer in business

Hi,

I cannot select a program on my dishwasher. There is power going into the machine. The 'on' light flickers though. help!

I had the same problem ,,it is simply the reset button.
Turn off . Turn on and simultaneously press setting button 4 times . Then turn off again . Turn on and press setting button once while holding down main swirch.
MFi charged me £90 for an engineer to do this as they don't give out technical info over phone....usual company bullsh*t to rip -off customers.

I have had EXACTLY the same problem. An incomplete cycle, followed by two flashing lights - In our case, the detergent door doesn't open either - A half way sloution for me, has been to put on a delicate wash (the one with a wine glass symbol). Only this program does a complete wash. I got an independent dishwasher repairer to come and take a look - he cringed when he saw it was an integrated Diplomat - He said he's had an unusually high number of complaints about them lately - He stripped it down and said that all the components were working fine, so it had to be something to do with the circuit board - He said I could pay to change that, at the risk of still not solving the problem. I'm in limbo as to whether to pay MFI to fix it (which could cost up to £200) or buy a new one - If I do the latter, it won't be a Diplomat! - Sorry I can't be of more help.
