How to determine the error code of the Hotpoint Ariston washing machine
Most housewives have washing machines, which makes it much easier to wash dirty clothes. There are many manufacturers of washing equipment, but models from the Ariston company are popular. If an F05 error appears in the Hotpoint Ariston washing machine, then the equipment is faulty. There are other errors that indicate an equipment failure.
How to determine the error code
It is recommended to understand the specifics of determining the error code of the washing machine in advance.
Reading codes on the "Margarita 2000" series
Some housewives use the "Margarita 2000" washing equipment, which, after the occurrence of breakdowns, begins to issue 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 belonging to the AVL series are considered the most economical, and therefore are not equipped with additional screens.
For such devices, you can determine the error using another device - the light indicators located on the front.
Code determination for the "Aqualtis" series
On the equipment of the Aqualtis series, special diodes are installed, which light up in a certain order when faults appear. You can decipher the codes using a special table, which is in the instructions for use.
How to find out the code for the series "Arcadia"
The devices of the Arcadia line are also not equipped with a modern display, and therefore you will have to independently determine the error codes using the illuminated LED indicators on the front panel.
List of errors
To find out the exact breakdown of the washing machine in advance, you should familiarize yourself with the description of common errors.
F01
Appears after a short circuit in the electrical circuit responsible for engine performance. When such a code appears, you must:
- check if liquid has entered the electronic controller;
- replace drive motor.
F02
The malfunction is due to the fact that the electronic controller has ceased to receive signals from the tachometer. To eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to check the locked rotor and the connection between the motor and the controller.
F03
This code occurs if the sensor that detects the temperature of the fluid is malfunctioning.
To establish the exact cause of the breakdown, you will need to check the resistance of the heating element and the reliability of its connection to the wiring of the washing machine.
F04
The error is associated with a malfunction of the sensor that controls the water level in the system. It detects when the tank is overfilled or empty. It is impossible to repair such a sensor and therefore you will have to change it for another one.
F05
The code appears when the pump, which removes water from the system, stops working properly.In the event of a breakdown, it is necessary to check the operation of the pump. If it turns out to be broken, you will need to buy a new part to replace it.
F06
The signal appears when the buttons on the front panel of the washing machine do not work properly. To confirm the malfunction, check the connection of the control panel with the controller. The only way to fix the breakage is to replace the buttons.
F07
This happens if the heating element is not submerged in water. To determine the cause of the breakdown, you will need to check the level sensor, the health of the heating element and measure the resistance of these parts. If necessary, they are replaced with new ones.
F08
A common malfunction in which the heater component and liquid level sensor stop working. In this case, it will not be possible to repair the parts and you will have to change them.
F09
It is associated with a malfunction of the non-volatile memory of washing equipment. We will need to replace it with a new electrical controller and memory chip.
F10
Appears when there is no signal that should come from the water level sensor. During repairs, not only the broken sensor is replaced, but also the controller.
F11
The signal appears if there is no information about the correct operation of the drain pump. This can happen due to a fault in the electrical wiring or a disconnection of the pump.
F12
An error may occur if there is no communication between the controller and the display module. To check the malfunction, the connection between these parts is checked.
F13
The code indicates a malfunction in the circuit that controls the clothes drying temperature.Most often, a malfunction appears in the washers of the "Margarita 2000" series.
F14
The signal is displayed if the drying mode has stopped turning on. It will be necessary to check the connections of the drying heating element to identify the exact cause of the failure.
F15
This signal appears when drying cannot be stopped. The problem is most often associated with a failure of the backplane or water level sensor.
F 16
Malfunction of the lock, in which the hatch stops opening. This is a serious breakdown that will need to be eliminated with the help of a specialist.
F17
This error appears on the screen if the tank door does not close due to a malfunction in the lock controller. The breakdown can only be eliminated by replacing the blocker.
F18
Such a code indicates a malfunction of the microprocessor of the washing equipment. It is not under repair and therefore must be replaced with a new one.
H20
The error appears in the following cases:
- tank overflow;
- water is not collected;
- the liquid flows badly.
When is it worth contacting specialists
There are several "Hotpoint Ariston" breakdowns that require specialist help:
- malfunction of the microprocessor;
- breakage of buttons on the front control panel;
- replacement of the blocker;
- engine malfunction.
Conclusion
Owners of Ariston washing machines periodically encounter their breakdowns. To find out the exact malfunction of the equipment, you need to familiarize yourself with the description of the error codes.
