Connection
Self-connection of the Ardo A600X machine is usually performed in cases where the owners of the washing machine cannot call a technician for financial reasons. However, when connecting yourself, you should follow safety precautions. Otherwise, you may break the device. And the manufacturer will refuse to perform warranty repairs because they are not responsible for your actions.
How to connect the washing machine correctly? First, unscrew the transport bolts. To do this, they must be rotated counterclockwise. It is recommended to keep all washers, bolts and O-rings. You will need them if you transport the Ardo A600X again.
Next, according to the instructions, completely dismantle the back side of the washing machine and remove the shipping spacers. Then you need to screw the wall back into place.
Then place the washing machine in the installation location, which must be prepared in advance.
Using a building level, level the body. To do this, tighten all the legs of the washer one by one. Next, screw on the inlet hose. One end of the hose must be connected to the outlet of the inlet hose. It is located on the back of the case in the upper right corner. The second end of the hose is screwed to the outlet of the water supply.
Don't tighten too much. It is important to note that if the water pressure is low, the water pipe will not draw water into the washer.
Next, you need to connect the drain hose. One end is already attached to the Ardo A600X washing machine. Connect the other end to the sewer pipe.
Upon completion of this work, check the tightness of the connections of the two hoses. Water should not leak. Next, we connect the equipment to the power supply and check its operation.
Frequent malfunctions of the ARDO A 1000 X washing machine
Italian household appliances, provided that the operating rules are followed, can easily last for several decades. Unfortunately, the hardness of tap water in Russia accelerates the wear of parts and components, imposing serious restrictions on this period.
Due to scale and frequent power surges, the ARDO A 1000 X washing machine may, over time, stop draining/accumulating/heating water, turning on, spinning clothes, and spinning the drum. These are the most typical problems that washing machine owners face several years after purchasing it. Another danger is water leakage, which can be caused by damaged hoses.
Our technicians will diagnose household appliances in your home, identify the fault, and then agree with you on a method and price for restoring the functionality of the Ardo A 1000 X washing machine.
Dispenser and control panel
The Ardo A600X washing machine contains a mechanical control panel. There are five buttons on it, as well as two switches.
The selector located on the right is used to select programs. And using the second switch, the required water heating temperature is set.
In the center of the panel there is a warning button indicating whether the machine is on or off.
The leftmost button on the control panel is necessary for additional rinsing. The button located to the right is needed to temporarily stop the wash without draining the water from the drum.
When you press the button located in the middle, the spin is turned off. This means that after washing the water will be drained from the tank. The second button from the right is needed to reduce the duration of the wash cycle. The right button is needed to turn the washing machine on and off.
The Ardo A600X washing machine contains a powder dispenser with three compartments. Pour powder for the main wash into the middle compartment, and for pre-wash into the left compartment. The right compartment is for rinse aids. For washing, you can use not only powders, but also liquid products intended for automatic machines.
Ardo washing machine does not drain water
The solution to the problem must be sought in the following sequence:
- It is necessary to check for kinks or twists in the drain hose.
- If the drain hose is connected directly to a sewer pipe (fixed connection), you must ensure that it is not clogged. The easiest way is to disconnect the hose and see if water flows out of it. If not, check the hose for blockages.
- If everything is in order with the sewer and drain hose, you should check the condition of the drain filter. It is made in the form of a threaded plug and is located at the bottom of the unit on the front side - behind the door or decorative panel. Before unscrewing the filter, place a container under the machine to collect water. It is necessary to clean not only the filter itself from debris, but also the place where it is installed. After this, you can screw the part into place and check the results of the work.
- The next suspect (if all else fails) is the drain pump. Most often, this unit breaks due to small objects getting inside - coins, buttons, etc. The pump is installed at the bottom and is easiest to reach by tilting the car on its side. Some models of Ardo washing machines are not closed at the bottom; others have an easily removable protective cover in this place. First, use a multimeter to check the presence of voltage at the pump contacts. If everything is in order with the electrical circuit, turn off the power to the machine and disconnect the pump.
Exploitation
When you first start the washing machine, you need to run a short program without loading laundry. This is necessary to clean the drum.
It is important to ensure that the water supply tap is open before washing clothes. You should also check your clothing pockets before washing and sort all your laundry.
Starting the Ardo A600X washing machine is done as follows:
- First of all, load things into the drum. Their weight should not exceed the maximum allowable for the selected mode. For example, for the cotton mode, the maximum load is 5 kilograms of dry laundry. For delicate fabrics it is 2.5 kilograms, and for items made of wool – 1 kilogram.
- Close the drum door of the Ardo A600X washing machine.
- Next, pour the powder into the powder receptacle. Its quantity must correspond to the dosage. tray during washing to prevent water from leaking.
- Then turn the selector until the desired washing mode is selected. Rotate the selector clockwise only.
- If necessary, press the additional function button.
- Then press the power button on the washing machine. Press it only after selecting a washing program.

The wear of the heating element increases with “hard” water.
Overgrown with scale (scabs), it transfers heat poorly and burns out.
You need to pull out the elastic band and not the heating element. Since when pulling out the heating element you can wedge the elastic band.?
This is important to avoid further leakage under the seal.
- 10% wear on the commutator motor brushes, loose contacts, broken drive belt
Electronics repair
Replacing the entire electronic module is not difficult. However, it is not always necessary to completely replace it. Sometimes you just need to replace some of the elements located on it. This is very important, since the electronic module has a fairly high cost.
To repair electronics, you need to have special skills and knowledge of electrical equipment repair. Therefore, it would be wiser to contact a repair shop with a specialist who can determine the breakdown and replace the faulty element.
