Error F06 in the Ariston washing machine. Error F06 washing machine Indesit

The washing machine of the Italian company Ariston rightfully deserves good recommendations, because it works for a long time, rarely breaks down, and you can always find exactly the model with the set of functions you want. Perhaps it is the model range and large selection that ensures the popularity of the brand.

But when the machine is purchased, the idyll gradually begins to crumble: the admiration that the technology aroused in the first few days quickly passes. It is replaced by irritation and bewilderment - sometimes the washing machine displays error codes and it is completely unclear what these letters and numbers on the screen mean. Mistakes are scary and there are fewer and fewer tender feelings towards technology, regardless of whether it is Ariston Hotpoint or Margarita 2000.

After purchase, a washing machine really often, much more often than after a couple of years of operation, displays error codes. Why is this happening? Usually, errors are not a sign of a manufacturing defect, although suspicions may arise and even be confirmed. You need to get used to the machine, the connection needs to be adjusted well, the device must be placed in a horizontal position with an accuracy of a millimeter. However, the washing machine does not always display the true error or the necessary codes. The electronics themselves can easily fail.

Error Identification

Vertical loading of a modern machine is often associated with machines from the times of the USSR and, in connection with this, horizontal loading is chosen more often. This machine looks more beautiful, just one glance at the photo is enough to understand this. But vertical loading is reliable and convenient. Someone is curious to compare the quality of an automatic washing machine of yesteryear and the modern version. Only vertical loading allows you to do this. How do electronic contents differ between these two versions of modern laundry technology?

Combinations of letters and numbers on the timer screen, error codes are a very precise description of what happened, something is wrong with the washing machine. The fact that an automatic washing machine allows you to select a washing mode and adjust it is good. But the fact that it can stop working itself in a dangerous breakdown situation is doubly good. Only a system of error messages, codes appearing on the indicator, stopping work, blocking doors allows a person to go for a walk, watch TV shows, swim, clean - or do anything while the machine is washing.

Electronic components and these special codes ensure that any problem that may arise during operation will be resolved as quickly as possible, with minimal damage. The Ariston washing machine will inform both the owner and the repairman. The main thing is to understand it correctly. Error codes and malfunctions of the Ariston washing machine for an ordinary person are a magic spell “Abra-Kadabra”, a puzzle that cannot be solved on your own. Some problems are easy to fix with your own hands, while others require the intervention of a repair specialist. Therefore, calling a repairman and asking what the code means is not always logical - perhaps it’s time to clean the filter. The information below will help you understand everything and make the right decision.

Ariston and her main mistakes

Error codes are as standardized as possible. They may have slightly different meanings, but this specificity will become clear during work to the person who will carry out the repair. The error codes of the Ariston Hotpoint washing machine, for example, look exactly the same on the screen with a timer as the error codes of the Ariston Margarita 2000 washing machine, however, after disassembling the mechanism, it will become clear that there are some nuances and specifics. A washing machine repairman knows exactly what to do.

An amateur will have to rack his brains and discover the fault himself during a visual inspection. Ariston Hotpoint, Ariston AVSL 80, AVTL 104, Margarita 2000 have the same designations. The error code for an Ariston vertical-loading washing machine on the timer dial will look the same as for an Ariston with horizontal loading, the same part will break, but during the repair it will also become clear that the drum is positioned in a completely different way and this changes a lot.

"F01". This combination of letters and numbers makes it clear that a short circuit has occurred, which interferes with effective operation. The problem arose in the circuit of a seven-meter and larger Ariston washing machine, be it Hotpoint, AVSL 80, AVTL 104 or Margarita 2000, will not make a single revolution. It should be noted that this is good, because there is a risk of engine damage. You need to check it, looking for damaged wires. There is also a possibility that the whole issue is in the electronic unit. Its contacts, alas, can melt under the influence of electric current. The solution is to replace the Ariston electronic unit, or the part that has burned out.

"F02". When this designation appears, the connection between the part called “tachogenerator” and the engine has been lost. It is necessary to look for faults at the point of contact, and sometimes to change the electronic unit.
“F03”. The temperature sensor does not work. Either the module, or the contacts, or the sensor is to blame. Determining what needs to be repaired is not difficult.
“F04” The sensor that measures the water level has broken down. You need to carefully check all contacts, the sensor and the electronic unit - there is a breakdown in one of these places.
“F05” Something is wrong with the pump, perhaps with its sensor, and you need to understand these elements, examine their contacts, each individually, and, of course, the module itself, which can always break down and give an absolutely meaningless signal . It is difficult for an amateur to determine what is wrong with a technique. Sometimes it’s better not to take risks and entrust the repair to a specialist. He can easily determine what is wrong and fix it.
"F06". The signal lets you know that the display is not responding. Sometimes this means that the buttons, switch or electronic unit themselves have failed.
"F07". The relay of the part that is responsible for heating the water has broken down or this is a malfunction of the electronic unit - this can only be clarified by visual inspection of the parts.
"F08". The heater relay has failed or the fluid sensor is malfunctioning. The reason is hidden in these two details. Of course, there is a possibility that the electronic panel itself and its chips failed.
"F09". The memory is not ready to respond to requests; its program has crashed. What to do? We need to replace it. There is no other way out. However, the new version must match the washing machine model.
"F10". What to do if the drum cannot be examined for the presence of liquid? The sensor measuring its level or the electronic unit has failed. Some of this will most likely need to be replaced.
"F11". The pump does not follow commands. How to work in this situation? The washing machine will not start - malfunctions prevent it from doing so, it was forced to stop. Although you can try turning it off and then turning it on again. Perhaps commands are not being received to it. He may not be able to react. The condition monitoring system may not be functioning correctly.
"F12". The block with indicators is broken, or does not respond to commands from the control unit and all contacts; both blocks must be thoroughly checked, repaired or replaced.
"F13". If this designation appears and the work is stopped or cannot start for this reason, it is necessary to eliminate the malfunction that arose in the drying control algorithm. Again, either the dryer or the control unit is faulty.

"F14". How to be in this case? The signal is interpreted as a drying malfunction - it cannot be turned on. This should be corrected in the same way as in the case of “F13”.
"F15". This code informs you: the dryer is broken and now it does not turn off. A thorough check of conflicting elements is required.
"F16". This is only possible with vertical loading. The drum does not rotate. The problem and its source are most often easily found by visual inspection.
"F17". This means it’s time to check and restore the functionality of the door lock. It is not blocked and the machine will not wash in this situation - it is too dangerous.
"F18". Brain and heart - the processor is broken. And only replacing the monitoring and control unit will change something.
"H20". “H20” indicates that the pump is not filling or draining water.

It is important to sometimes rinse the drain pipes and check if there is water in the tap. If they are clogged, this is exactly how the pump will react - trying is absolutely in vain. And the error code h20 will appear on the indicator, the Ariston washing machine, after several unsuccessful attempts to get the part to work, will interrupt the wash.

Error F06 is typical for washing machines from the Ariston Dialogic range and means that the control panel has broken down.

Electronically controlled washing machines show error F 06 on the display. On electromechanical washing machines, indicators are displayed: the “Super Wash” - “Quick Wash” signal is flashing.

At the same time, error code F 06 is absent for Hotpoint-Ariston AVL, AVD models.

Once you understand what the fault code means, you will understand what needs to be done. Error F06 indicates a problem with the panel keyboard or control handle. As already mentioned, this code is not available on Hotpoint Ariston washing machines.

Causes and troubleshooting

How to fix a breakdown at home and solve the problem:

A reboot will help resolve error F06 when the system crashes. Disconnect SM Ariston from the network for 15-20 minutes. If after switching on you are unable to reset the error, check further.
If the panel is faulty, the buttons will not respond to pressing. The panel needs to be replaced.
Control board failure. If the cause of the failure is in the module, it requires replacement.
Lost contacts or broken wiring between the indication and control system. Check connections and replace burnt wires.

In order to accurately determine why the washing machine is generating error F06, you need to conduct automatic testing. Self-diagnosis will help you understand the causes of the keyboard problem, even if the code is not displayed.

Code identification

Is it possible to deal with the problem with your own hands and return the washing machine to working capacity? To solve the problem, you need to figure out what this error means. Code F06 indicates a problem in the control of the washing machine, as a result of which the machine does not respond to user commands or does not start washing. That is, the washing machine simply does not respond to button presses and does not start the selected mode.

The Indesit machine, which does not have a display, displays an error by flashing the lights. The “Extra Rinse” and “Soak” indicators are lit. The “Quick Wash” and “Super Wash” lamps are allowed to glow. The “Ironing” and “Dirty Laundry” indicators may be on. Also, an attentive user may notice the blinking of the “Lock” LED.

What to do when faced with such a problem? How can I return my Indesit machine to working order? Whether it is possible to cope with the breakdown yourself, or whether you will have to call a specialist, we will analyze further.

Fault testing

Thanks to the test, you can check all the functions of the Ariston SM, find a breakdown and understand how to fix it. We will give an example of performing an autotest on Margarita 2000 and EVO-II washing machines.

Attention! During the test, the water temperature will increase to +30 degrees. Therefore, set a limit on elevated temperatures in advance.

Then take care that:

The Ariston machine was connected to the water supply.
There was no water in the tank.
The door was tightly closed.

To determine error F 06 or another malfunction, turn on the CMA and press the “AUTO TEST” key. While holding the button, watch the messages on the display: if the test is running, “TEST” will be displayed. If there is no display, you will hear a beep.

Definition of failure

The Ariston “Margarita 2000” washing machine will detect the problem as follows: the control selector rotates in a circle, and the indicators of the corresponding programs additionally light up. If the diagnostics finds a breakdown, the indicator flickers several times.

With error F 06, the light will blink six times intermittently, which means a fault code.

If you were able to fix the problem before checking, the autotest diagnostics will not start.

The washing program started as usual, but something went wrong, the tank is full of water. An error with code F 05 / F 5 lights up on the display or display of the Ariston or Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine.

Usually errors are accompanied by extraneous noises or sounds:

strong humming sound (from the drain pump or pump);
a cracking sound similar to the sound of an object hitting a fan.

The start of the water draining program does not go to completion and the Ariston machine again gives an error, the water naturally does not drain.

Most often, errors F 05 occur during washing, less often during rinsing, and practically do not appear during spinning. Even if you drain the water through the emergency drain, the error will not disappear.

Exceptions:

the Ariston machine will drain the water and then display error F05 / F5 (during washing, rinsing or spinning);
an error with code F 05 / F 5 may appear immediately after the wash starts (“Start” / “Start”).

In Ariston models without a screen, the error will manifest itself using indicators:

Lights flash randomly

In some cases, a simple reboot of the equipment helps to eliminate the F06 error. Unplug the washing machine for about 20 minutes. If this manipulation does not help, and the washing machine gives an error again, it is better to check the wiring. In certain Indesit models, the wires pass in close proximity to the internal parts of the machine. Such close proximity leads to their damage. You can check the wiring with a tester, and if it is damaged, replace it yourself.

It makes sense to check the capacitors on the control board of the washing machine. Sometimes, this behavior of the “home assistant” is caused by burnt-out capacitors, namely 10v680uf, 10v1000uf, 10v470uf. Diagnostics of elements and their replacement will help eliminate the problem.

Error F 05 – We fix it ourselves.

Software error.
Electronics, like any device, can make mistakes, most often this happens if the light blinks during operation. To fix the problem, you need to restart the washing machine software. To do this, turn off the washing machine using the power button and unplug it from the outlet for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn on the power and press the “on/off” button. If the error was false, code F 05 will no longer appear.
Filter clogged.
A fairly common problem, since few people read the instructions or have simply forgotten what is written there. Foreign objects from clothing pockets, animal hair, and even human hair often get into the filter. All the clog makes it difficult to drain the water. You just need to remove the blockage, but to do this you need to drain the water from the washing machine tank through the emergency drain or by any means. The emergency drain is located in the lower right corner of the washing machine. Unscrew the drain filter and remove foreign objects. If error F05 no longer appears, then the cause has been resolved.
Prepare a rag, as water will still spill on the floor; there is always water left in the filter!
Or read the article Draining water if the washing machine breaks down.
Clogged drain hose
. Often debris gets from the pump into the drain hose and blocks the water from draining. Before clearing the blockage, drain the water as described above. Next, you will need to disconnect the hose from the washing machine and drain and clear the clog. Reconnect the hose to the machine and sewer in reverse order. To check, run a short program and wait until the Hotpoint Ariston washing machine program completes. If the error no longer exists, then the problem is solved.
Sewer blockage.
A blockage in the sewer can also be the cause of error F 5 on the Ariston SMA, since the washing machine does not understand that the filter, hose or sewer is clogged, it doesn’t care. The reason remains the same, the water does not drain. It is not difficult to check this; disconnect the drain hose from the sewer and lower it into the sink, bathtub or toilet. Run the drain or spin program separately. If the error disappears, then you have a blockage in the sewer.
Important! Depending on the connection, plug the hole from the hose with a rag.

I also recommend that you read the instructions for your Hotpoint-Ariston washing machine, section “Troubleshooting”. The instructions contain the most common faults that you can solve yourself. If the recommendations do not help, and error F 05 still interferes with the operation of the Ariston washing machine, call a specialist for professional repair.

Possible faults requiring repair

Our technicians have been troubleshooting Ariston and Hotpoint Ariston washing machines for over 10 years. We have repaired more than 40,000 household appliances, including 3000

washing machine! In the table you can see typical breakdowns that cause the drain error F 05 / F 5 on the Ariston SMA.

Signs of an error	Probable cause	Repair or replacement	Cost (labor + spare parts)*
Hotpoint Ariston SMA does not drain water, hangs on washing or rinsing and shows error F 05.	Malfunction of the pump (drain pump). The reason may be: broken pump motor coil; pump motor short circuit; impeller damage In old cars, the main reason for pump failure is the exhaustion of the clock life. With new ones, small objects get into the pump.	The pump needs to be replaced.	from 2900 to 5500 rub.
When trying to drain the water, the Ariston machine buzzes, but does not drain the water, and then writes error F5.	Pump (drain pump) clogged . Small parts, for example, parts of a children's construction set, rubber bands, hairpins, bra underwires, slip through the drain filter, get stuck in the pump and block its operation.	It is necessary to disassemble the pump and clean it of debris.	from 900 to 2000 rub.
	Drain pipe clogged. The pipe is located between the tank and the drain filter and sometimes becomes clogged with small items of clothing (buttons, socks, handkerchiefs, etc.), parts of material (for example, threads of runners, rugs, bedspreads) or the contents of clothing pockets (most often, coins).	The pipe needs to be cleaned.	from 900 to 2000 rub.
In the Hotpoint Ariston machine, the program gets confused and code F05 is displayed. The error may appear during any program cycle (washing, rinsing or spinning) and even immediately after starting the program (before the water is filled).	Damage to the control board (electronic controller). Main reasons: burnt/oxidized tracks on the board; damaged radio components in the circuit (resistors, diodes, capacitors, relays); firmware failure; failure of the microprocessor.	A module with a failed processor cannot be repaired and must be replaced. In other cases, most often, they make do with repairs. It is necessary to eliminate damage to the board (restore tracks, replace radio components). If the firmware fails, you need to reflash the electronic controller. If repair attempts are unsuccessful, it is necessary to replace the control module completely.	Re-flashing - up to 3900 rubles. Repair - from 3500 to 8500 rubles. Replacement - from 7500 rub.
Ariston washing machine: during washing or rinsing, drained the water and stopped, displaying code F 05; stuck on the spin cycle without completing the program and shows this error, the door does not open	The pressure switch is faulty. Due to a breakdown, the water level sensor does not generate a signal about an empty tank. It still seems to him that there is water in the drum, although the machine has drained the water. Most often, the cause of a pressure switch failure is damage to the membrane or a short circuit in the sensor connection circuit.	The pressure switch needs to be replaced.	from 2800 to 4500 rub.
Ariston washing machine: stopped at washing, rinsing or spinning; randomly turns on the drain; Hotpoint Ariston washing machines can be found on sale in many models of various configurations, types and prices. It is important to note that the product is of excellent quality, but in some cases breakdowns may occur, which can be identified from the error code displayed on the display.

PMM error codes on the EOS platform with DEA 601/602/700 boards

The DEA 602 control module can be installed on Indesit DFG 03/04/ 050/0507/051/0512/0515/ 054/151/152/ 250/251/252/254/255/ 261/262/2622/2627/2631/ 2635, DFP 2631/ 272/2727/273/2731/274/277/ 573/5731, DIF 04/14/16/1614/26/ 34/3414/36/361/36/ 4367, DIS 04/1147/14 /16/161/ 5377/5377/53771, DPG 015/15/36/361, DSG 051/0517/ 263/2631/2637/ 573/5731/5737, DVLS 5, IDF 125/145, IDP 127/147/ 148, IDS 105/107/1071/573, as well as Scholtes LTE 12-106.

The DEA 700 control module can be installed on Indesit DFG 26, DFP 27/58, DIF 66, DIFP 28/68, DPG 26/66, EDIF 66, EDIFP 28, EDPG 66 models.

Dishwashers running on the EOS platform with DEA 601/602/700 boards can be equipped with a variety of user interfaces (control panels): with 4 or 6 LEDs (indicators) for washing programs, digital (with LCD display). If the PMM has only LEDs, the error code is indicated by blinking a certain set of indicators; on digital interfaces, the error code is displayed on the display, but the LED indication remains.

On earlier models with a display, the error code was shown with an "A" prefix (for example, A3), on more recent EOS models it was shown with an "F" prefix (for example, "F03"). On a PMM with a digital interface, the error is displayed by blinking numbers without a prefix: for example, with an error “05”, the number “5” will blink.

On the EOS platform, only 4 left indicators are used, and strictly defined ones: led1 - “washing”, led2 - “drying”, led3 - “end”, led4 - “delayed start”.

On interfaces with LEDs, a binary codification of the error number is used: four indicators were assigned a conditional number to the power of two - 1, 2, 4, 8 (see photo below) - and the error code (more precisely, number) was determined as the sum of the numbers of flashing indicators; for example, when LEDs 1, 2 and 4 are on, error 11 (1+2+8) is received. Numbering starts from the leftmost LED.

Indesit washing machine: error F 05

The company Ariston and Indesit is a manufacturer with extensive experience, producing a large number of household appliances, which are in demand all over the world. Even this does not exclude the possibility that a malfunction error may occur on the screen. The company produces durable, practical, stylish designs that have such an important criterion as multifunctionality.

Technicians at service centers believe that precisely because of the introduction of a large number of functions, devices can fail quite often.

There are different error codes, but the most common is F 05. It can provoke a number of additional problems and lead to serious financial investments if it is not eliminated in time. What to do if the machine issues code F 05? You should first pay attention to the instructions from the manufacturer, since all these points are displayed there in the best possible way. The manufacturer Indesit and Ariston is very meticulous about its products, and therefore it is possible to find out from the instructions the decoding of the error code and even how it can be eliminated.

What to do if an error code appears on the screen?

The Indesit dishwasher is considered a successful household appliance.
Certain error codes can be eliminated with your own hands without disassembling the unit. Experts advise restarting the machine three times. If the code returns again, you will have to disassemble the dishwasher and perform diagnostics using the decoding of the code meanings. How to reset the dishwasher:

press the “start” button, hold it a little and release;
after ten seconds, disconnect the car from the electrical network;
After about twenty minutes, turn on the power cord again, wait a ten-second pause and activate the launch again.

If the error code does not appear on the display screen, the dishwasher can be used as usual. Otherwise, the reboot should be repeated a couple more times. The worst case scenario is that the error persists and the unit has to be disassembled.

What to do when faced with a code?

Do not underestimate the Indesit dishwasher. She's not that bad. In a number of cases, the error code can be eliminated even without disassembling the “home assistant”. Experienced technicians recommend rebooting the machine up to three times. After this, if the code comes back, you need to disassemble the equipment and diagnose it, based on deciphering the error codes. How to reboot?

You need to press the on/off button and hold it a little and release it.
Next, after 10 seconds, you need to turn off the power to the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the outlet.

It is not recommended to abruptly turn off the power to the dishwasher, especially without turning it off using the button.

After 20 minutes, plug the power cord into the outlet and wait 10 seconds.
Press the on/off button and launch the program.

If the error code no longer returns, it means we continue to use the machine as before. Well, if the code returns, you need to repeat the reboot two more times. After this there is no point in rebooting, you need to look for the problem.

How to detect errors F 05 and others in the Ariston washing machine

The Hotpoint Ariston washing machine is equipped with a special device through which you can carry out independent diagnostics and identify the problem of breakdown. The purpose of such a service tester is to investigate the breakdown of each component in the equipment, as well as analyze the general condition. This can be done quickly and, moreover, you can get only reliable results. Thanks to this built-in function, you can carry out the process without contacting a specialist and spending additional money.

To run the test and carry out the diagnostic procedure, you will need to perform a number of actions

First, the SAT diagnostic key is connected, which helps start the testing program.
To connect the device, a special connector is provided on the back of the equipment; after connection, the product begins to glow with a green or blue lamp. If the light is red, this means that data is being exchanged between the diagnostic device and the direct controller in the product control module.
Next, the testing program is launched, which requires that the device be connected to both water and electricity. It is important that there is no water inside the tank and that the door is completely closed. This is the only way to obtain reliable data.

The program switch is placed in the initial position and the automatic test button is pressed, which must be held for a while until a sound signal appears.

Recommendations on how to conduct a test on a Hotpoint Ariston washing machine: error F 05 and more

Errors in washing machines Indesit, Ariston and other models can be: F 01, F 05, F 06, F 03, N 20, F 18, F 11, F 12.

When running a test to identify an error, a number of actions are performed

The solenoid valve turns on, due to which water is filled to the main level, and then to the pre-wash. Each period is allotted only 10 seconds. time.
The solenoid valve for hot water inlet is activated for a period of 10 seconds.
The solenoid valve is turned on, controlling the water during the main and preliminary washing modes. After this, water begins to flow up to the mark until it is filled to its maximum.
The drum of the device begins to rotate clockwise, and then back.
The heating element, which is responsible for heating the water to 30°C, is put into operation.
The drain pump is turned on and operation continues until the signal that the tank cavity is empty is triggered. At this time, the drum begins to rotate in spin mode.
The test is completed.

If during testing such errors as F 05 and F 08 were identified, then the testing indicator will begin to blink. The flashes will be slow with gradual pauses. Depending on the error code, it will be possible to detect the cause of the failure and subsequently begin troubleshooting. After repair, regardless of whether it is done independently or in a service center, additional testing is needed to ensure that the device does not turn on if there is a problem.

Can't start washing

It happens that error code F06 appears after the wash has started. What to do in this case? First, you should check whether the drum door is closed tightly. If the hatch is not completely closed, the protective system will not allow water to enter the drum, but will pause the wash, displaying error F06. It may be necessary to replace the UBL to fix the problem.

Diagnosis and replacement of the locking device is quite simple:

de-energize the SMA;
Unclench and remove the metal clamp securing the hatch cuff;
insert the rubber seal into the drum;
unscrew a couple of bolts holding the UBL;
put your hand into the hatch behind the body and remove the lock;
disconnect the UBL supply wiring;

Before disconnecting the contacts, take a photo of the wiring diagram!

Check the device's serviceability with a multimeter.

The tester switches to resistance measurement mode. The probes of the device are applied to the neutral contact and phase. If a three-digit number is displayed on the multimeter screen, it means the lock is intact. Afterwards, the probes are applied to the neutral and common contact. If the device shows one or zero, everything is in order. A faulty UBL must be replaced; repairing the lock is impossible.

Probably, code F06 appears because the machine cannot draw water, and there is simply nothing to wash with. Then make sure that your water is not turned off or the shut-off valve is not closed. In most cases, you can fix the error yourself if you pay close attention to the “symptoms” of the breakdown.

Troubleshooting methods for the Ariston Hotpoint washing machine

If malfunctions occur in the operation of the washing machine, then in any case, even if the malfunction is minimal, an error code will appear. What does it mean?

This can be seen in the information below and in the instructions from the manufacturer

Code F 01 requires checking the contacts of the controller connector, since water often gets on it and there may be a kind of short circuit. Experts believe that it is necessary to periodically inspect the part to detect the formation of corrosion that covers the connector in the drive motor. To fix the problem, the controller and drive motor must be replaced.
Error code F 02 requires checking the rotor in the drive motor to detect automatic locking. This occurs due to a problem in the bearings on the drums.
In case of problem F 03, you need to check contacts 11 and 12, as well as the connector on the electronic controller and the temperature analyzer. It is advisable to conduct an additional analysis of the level of electrical resistance in the alarm device. If parts are faulty, they require urgent replacement. Operation of the structure if there is a breakdown is strictly prohibited.
If error F 04 occurs, you need to fill the washing machine tank with water to the overflow mark and evaluate the reliability of the connections on the contacts in the electronic controller. If a problem is detected, the controller level indicator must be replaced.
F 05 is an error, when it appears, you need to check the quality of the contact connections on the electrical controller and the drain pump.
F 06 can occur if there is no contact in the connector, for which you need to inspect the wiring from the electronic board to the control panel.
F 07 requires determining the quality of contacts in the connectors in the cavity of the electrical controller, which will make it possible to determine the level and quality of functioning of the work in this part of the part. There may be a malfunction of the heating element.
F 09 is a code requiring replacement of the controller.
F 10 requires evaluation of contacts in connector 33 of the controller and level switch.
F 11 requires an analysis of the reliability of connections in pins 8, 9, as well as the connector connecting the controller and the drain pump.
With F 12, it is advisable to check the contact between the electronic controller and the temperature alarm during drying.
F 14 is a problem connecting the contacts of the electrical controller and the heating element.
F 16 is an error code when the drum is overloaded.

The main malfunctions of Ariston washing machines

Failure of the heating element.

Thanks to this part, the water is heated for greater efficiency of the washing process. If a failure occurs for this reason, the machine itself will determine this and issue the corresponding failure code (F03). This could be either a malfunction of the element itself or accompanying breaks in the power circuit due to burnt-out terminals. To eliminate the breakdown, you need to replace the burnt-out heating element or correct the terminals.

Bearing failures.

This malfunction is typical for almost all car models of any manufacturer, including the Ariston hotpoint model. You can see how this is done in the video or in this article:

Constant use of the machine causes the bearing shaft to wear out and moisture may enter it. The result is deformation of the part and incorrect operation of the washing machine.

It is not difficult to notice this breakdown - the machine begins to make a lot of noise during the spin phase. The sound is significantly different from normal operation. This damage can be easily eliminated by replacing new bearings. But working with faulty bearings can lead to serious problems - failure of the drum fastening, damage to the tank. Such violations entail a major overhaul of the equipment.

Regardless of vertical or horizontal loading, model range, and other indicators, it may happen that the machine refuses to drain or fill with water. The reasons may be blockages or burnt-out pump windings.

Sometimes, in order to improve the operation, it is enough to clean the filters; if their further operation is impossible, replace them. If everything is normal with the filters, but the water still does not drain, you need to replace the pump.

Malfunctions of the Ariston Hotpoint washing machine can manifest themselves in water leaks. The problem most often lies in the water intake or drainage hoses, depending on at what stage of the wash the leak is noticed. To fix the problem, you need to inspect the hose attachments to the machine.

Most often you need to tighten the fixing nut or change the rubber seal. Less commonly, the culprits may be hatch cuffs and pipes. In this case, the problematic part should be replaced.

Noise when operating the machine with normal bearings

. In such situations, you need to check whether the machine is level. If not, you need to level its placement, and to reduce the level of vibration you can put a rubber mat. If this is done and the car is still noisy, the problem may be with the shock absorbers or the tank belt.

Refuses to turn on

How to correct the situation if the user’s attempts to turn on the automatic washing machine remain unsuccessful? What if the washing machine refuses to start?

First of all, you should check whether there is electricity in the apartment; perhaps the power in the house is turned off. See if the plugs are knocked out. You can also check the serviceability of the outlet itself and the power cord with a multimeter. If defects are noticeable upon visual inspection of the power cord, the cord must be replaced.

If the washing machine is connected to the network through an extension cord, it is worth inspecting it for damage. Next, you should check the serviceability of the buttons themselves on the control panel. If everything above is in order, you will have to inspect the main control module of the washing machine. If defects or broken connections are clearly visible on the board, you need to invite a professional.

It will not be possible to repair the “brain” of the washing machine without certain knowledge and experience; you can only ruin the part, and this will lead to higher repair costs.

The technician will diagnose the control module, replace the triac if necessary, solder the tracks, etc.
