Error F06, F6, F17 and Door in the Hotpoint Ariston washing machine is common and is associated with blocking. The variety of codes is explained by the change of electronic modules from the company.
Causes of error F06, F6, F17, Door What to do
Door error.
Usually it appears first and washing cannot start. But it can also appear during the program execution cycle. The reasons for its occurrence and possible methods of self-correction are considered. There is no need to panic, because... This is a pretty simple breakdown.
Reasons for the occurrence of code F06, F6, F17 in the Hotpoint Ariston SMA
1. The hatch is not closed completely.
2. The program crashed.
3. Damage in the reverse part of the lock located in the hatch.
4. The door opening handle is broken.
5. Failure of the UBL - hatch locking device.
6. Electrical wires are damaged. There may be a break or short circuit.
7. Worn drive motor brushes.
8. Malfunction of the electronic control module.
Checking the electrical circuit
An error with the value F06 indicates that most likely the electronic module of the Ariston machine, the control panel board are faulty, or the circuit connecting any elements is broken. What to do in such situations? To eliminate error F06, you will first have to dismantle the panel responsible for controlling the machine:
- Unscrew a couple of screws located under the cover at the top back of the washer. They help hold the top panel in place. Now you can move the lid back a little, lift it up and put it aside.
- You need to go around the front of the Ariston machine and pull out the tray for detergents.
- At the top of the front panel, in the corners, there are self-tapping screws that are carefully unscrewed.
- Now it’s the turn of the screws located near the niche of the powder receiver of the Ariston washing machine.
- All you have to do is pull the panel towards you and up to remove it. You should act carefully so as not to break off the plastic fasteners.
After removing the panel, a large bundle of wiring will appear before our eyes, which goes from the board to the retractable button segment, and two wires power the “Power” button. The Ariston SM has a special design, which is not entirely convenient when there is a need to ring the contact group and check the wires. But that shouldn't stop us.
To eliminate error F06, the wiring and push-button contacts are first inspected. If there are signs of burning or melting, such places will be visually clearly identified. Having completed the inspection, using a multimeter we check each connection in turn, marking the areas that do not work. After that we move on to the wires. The work is meticulous, but it will not take up too much time.
Experienced technicians recommend “ringing” all contacts and wiring repeatedly to prevent errors. If you miss a fault, each action will have to be repeated.
We mark the “broken” wires. Having completed the verification steps, we remove the failed push-button contacts, purchase the same elements and install them in place of the faulty ones. Then we connect the wiring according to the diagram. If it is not there, you will have to photograph or sketch all the wiring before starting the test.
If during operation all elements have confirmed their functionality, you will have to inspect the modular device to find the cause of error F06. It is possible that the buttons and the electrics connecting them are really not at fault.
What to do to fix it
Most of the reasons can be determined independently and corrected accordingly. If this does not work, then it is better to call a specialist. But you will roughly understand where the problem is and it will be more difficult to deceive you.
1. It happens that the hatch is not closed tightly. You need to press harder until you hear a characteristic click.
2. There could well have been a power surge and the program froze. You can try to restart or better turn off the power to the washing machine for 10-20 minutes in order to clear the module of the error.
3. A fairly frequent breakdown occurs in the back part of the lock, which is located in the hatch. You can tell by the movement of the hook. To understand the problem, you need to disassemble the hatch, and then either some part or the hatch is changed.
4. The hatch handle breaks often. The reason is that after washing is completed, the hook is blocked for a while. And attempts to open it damage the plastic handle. To replace it, you need to disassemble the hatch.
5. Most of the Door Lock Devices are based on thermal principle. The thermoplate bends and blocks the hook. Over time, wear occurs and replacement is necessary. Sometimes cleaning the contacts outside and inside the UBL can help.
6. Damage to electrical wires and cables is quite common. This is due to high power consumption. Here you need to arm yourself with a multimeter and ring them all in the circuit.
7. It should be noted that this is the specificity of the Indesit and Ariston brands. When the brushes wear out, a break occurs in the electrical circuit and voltage is not supplied to the UBL or it is insufficient. The brush assembly needs to be replaced.
8. Also quite a common reason. If we discard all of the above, then we need to diagnose the control module. It is usually repairable. Usually a triac or relay is on.
Panel fault
Error F06 in the Ariston washing machine is typical for devices from the Dialogic model range. They are equipped with various sensors that allow you to select a program depending on the type of laundry, water hardness and other parameters.
Such devices have a self-diagnosis option that informs about a malfunction. In the Dialogic series CMA with an electronic control type, code F06 is displayed on the display, which informs about a malfunction of the keyboard buttons. To access the control panel, which is hidden behind the handle, you need to press its center.
In Hotpoint Ariston cars, the reason for the appearance of code F06 may be:
- faulty electrical wiring;
- module malfunction;
- broken buttons.
Depending on the type of damage to the control panel, it is necessary to replace the module, wires, and check connections. Automatic diagnostics will help you understand the causes of the keyboard problem.
For example, in an Indesit machine, code F 6 indicates a malfunction of the control panel. In this case, the device does not respond to button presses. To eliminate the failure, you need to determine its causes, check the presence of electricity in the room, the socket and cable, and the serviceability of the buttons and module.
LIGHTING PART
Outdoor lighting design standards
2.1. The standards regulating the quantitative and qualitative indicators of outdoor lighting must be the same for any light sources used in lighting installations, and comply with the SNiP chapter on the design of natural and artificial lighting.
Calculation of lighting for areas for various purposes should be made taking into account the provision of standardized values in the corresponding functional areas of the area.
Ways to prevent dishwasher breakdowns
Although the Ariston Hotpoint is a very reliable dishwasher, operating errors can damage it too. The equipment will “report” on all types of possible malfunctions in a timely manner; you just need to understand the nuances of deciphering the codes in order to determine the necessary and sufficient measures to eliminate the cause of the malfunction.
And in order not to become a regular customer of repair shops, you just need to follow the operating rules and follow a few tips that will extend the life of the equipment.
In some models, if used incorrectly, code 13 is displayed, which means that the valve in the detergent compartment cannot open due to powder residue or the dishes are not stacked correctly.
Recommendations for use:
- Ariston Hotpoint has filters that purify water from various impurities. To avoid clogging, they must be cleaned in a timely manner.
- It is recommended to install a grease filter at the entrance to the sewer to avoid external blockages.
- To make the machine easier to operate, wipe the dishes with a napkin before loading to remove any remaining food.
- If your water supply has hard water, use regenerating salt softeners or install a special filter at the inlet to the PMM.
- Do not use soap, shampoos or other substances not intended for dishwashing equipment as cleaning ingredients. Only specialized detergents with characteristic low foaming are suitable for operating the dishwasher.
- Do not overload the dishwasher with items. You should strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations for loading the dishwasher given in the data sheet.
- After each start of the machine, wash and dry the tablet tray.
- Place dishes so that they do not touch or block the spray arms.
And the last piece of advice - at least once a month, arrange a “clean day” for your assistant, running it in idle mode along with a cleanser and disinfectant.
How to determine the error code
It is recommended to understand in advance the features of determining the error code of the washing machine.
Reading codes on the “Margarita 2000” series
Some housewives use Margarita 2000 washing equipment, which, after breakdowns occur, begins to generate error codes. To read such signals, a special LED display is installed on the front panel.
How to determine the code on the AVL series
Models that belong to the AVL series are considered the most budget-friendly, and therefore they are not equipped with additional displays.
Determining the code on the Aqualtis series
Equipment from the Aqualtis series are equipped with special diodes that light up in a certain sequence when breakdowns occur. You can decipher the codes using a special table, which is located in the instructions for use.
How to find out the code for the Arcadia series
Devices from the Arcadia line are also not equipped with a modern display and therefore you will have to independently determine the error codes by the LED indicators on the front panel that light up.
