Which Ariston washing machine has malfunctions and their elimination. Instructions for use - Setafi

Ariston washing machines are distinguished by high-quality assembly, therefore they serve flawlessly for several years in a row. But sometimes failures occur, and the reasons can be both quite simple and complex. The main malfunctions of the Ariston washing machine and their elimination are described in detail in this article.

Heating element malfunctions

Teng is a weak point of any machine in the sense that as it wears out, it inevitably becomes clogged with scale, like, for example, the heating element of a kettle. Due to the fact that the surface is covered with plaque, and the layer gradually increases, the water begins to heat up worse.

As a result, the heating element heats up more, and if the clogging is quite strong, this can lead to combustion and even a short circuit. The main symptom is that the water does not heat up or remains rather cool. This is easy to understand by touching the door with your hand during washing.

A defective heater must definitely be replaced. If the element is fully functional, it is enough to clean it. In any case, you will need to remove it from the car, the sequence of actions is as follows:

1. Be sure to disconnect the unit from the mains and turn off the tap.
2. Next, remove the hoses that supply and drain water.
3. Remove the back panel, for this it is enough just to unscrew the screws or bolts.
4. Remove the heating wires. It’s better to take a picture of them right away, so that later you can understand how to put them correctly for a new element.
5. Loosen the nut (it should only be held at the end of the thread).
6. Push the nut inwards together with the stud.
7. Now you can get the heating element and clean it or replace it with a new one. If the element is operational, cleaning is carried out using citric acid or a special tool, for example, Antikipin.

Electronics faults

It has an Ariston washing machine and malfunctions associated with electronics, more precisely, with the control module. This is one of the most serious breakdowns, because it often requires replacing the processor board, which can be quite expensive.

However, the failure can also be one-time, for example, after a power surge. Then just disconnect the plug from the network and wait 15-20 minutes. Then, if the current is stable, you need to re-insert the plug and check how the device works.

If the Ariston washing machine does not turn on, the programs fail or the drum does not rotate, this clearly indicates problems in the electronic board. Moreover, errors with the code F09 or F12 may appear on the display. If there is no screen, different indicators will start flashing.

In most cases, this problem cannot be fixed. Therefore, it is recommended to contact the service center. The specialist must accurately diagnose the cause, solder the tracks that burned out due to a failure, replace the relay and other radio elements. In some cases, a complete replacement of the board will be required. Thanks to this, the reasons why the Ariston washing machine does not turn on will be eliminated.

Pump failure

Quite often, the pump breaks down at the machine. This is due to violations in the operation of the engine, pump. It may also happen that foreign objects got into this element, which caused the impeller to break. In such cases, the device will stop draining water, the indicators will flash, and if there is a display, errors with codes F05 or F11 will appear.

To replace, you need to buy a new part, the sequence of actions is as follows:

1. Disconnect the plug from the socket.
2. Drain the water using the emergency drain system.
3. Close the tap.
4. Tilt the machine towards you, placing a rag under it or lay it on its left side.
5. The pump is freely accessible - it can be removed by unscrewing each screw in succession.
6. Press on the element from the side where the drain valve is located.
7. Pull the body towards you, drain the excess fluid.
8. Pry off the latch, which is located on the pump housing, on both sides.
9. Remove the pump from the coil.
10.  Install the new part in reverse order.

If the unit is faulty, the cause must first be determined. For example, when the Ariston Hotpoint washing machine does not turn on, most likely this is due to the electronic control unit, and if the water does not heat up well, the heating element has broken. You can replace or repair parts yourself, but if there is little experience, it is better to contact a qualified specialist.
