Ariston Washer Error Code List

The Italian company Ariston appeared on the market in the 1960s. In just a few subsequent years, it managed to win consumer recognition and take a strong position in the production of household appliances. Buyers love washing machines from Ariston for their ergonomics, high quality, and wide functionality.

However, despite their reliability, washing machines from the brand remain just equipment that sometimes fails. Thanks to modern technology, owners can independently determine the cause of most problems. For this purpose, error codes are provided, which, in the event of a breakdown, are displayed on the digital display of the machine.

Ariston washing machine error codes with descriptions

The hatch door is not tightly closed. For machines with the Easy Door option, you need to check:

the presence of electrical voltage between contacts 3 and 5 in the hatch lock and between contacts 3 and 4 in connector J4 of the electrical controller;

secure closure of the door lock;

door lock micro switch operation;

electronic controller.

If the Easy Door function is missing, replace the controller and door lock.

Error

code

Description
F01

There is a short circuit in the drive motor connecting circuit. Ways to solve the problem:

  • see if the contacts of connector J9 are wet;
  • replace the electronic unit;
  • assess the condition of the electric motor terminal block (it is probably covered with rust).
F02

The signal from the tachogenerator has disappeared. The problem can be resolved in the following ways:

eliminating jamming of drum bearings;

  • restoring the connection between the engine and the electrical controller;
  • checking the harness and contact group between the controller and the motor;
  • replacement of the drive motor and controller.
F03

The temperature sensor is broken / the heater relay is stuck. To solve the problem, you should check the operation of the relay, controller and temperature sensor, as well as possible damage to the electrical circuit.

 

F04

The pressure switch is faulty. It is necessary to evaluate the integrity of the wires between it and the controller, and if necessary, replace these components.

 

F05

The drain pump is blocked or an "Empty tank" signal is given from the float sensor after draining. Check the drain hose, filter mesh, J9 connector connections. Sometimes the problem is resolved by replacing the electronic module or drain pump.

 

F06

Button error occurs in Ariston Dialogic models. It is necessary to replace the keys on the control panel or restore the contacts between the controller and the control unit.

 

F07

Water level below the heater. If the machine is equipped with an EVO-I controller, you should diagnose the heater relay, controller, connections and electrical circuits. In models with EVO-II, both the controller itself and the electrical circuits, heating elements and pressure switch are checked.

 

F08

“Sticking” of the heater relay (in the absence of water in the machine) or simultaneous signaling of “Empty tank” and “Overflow” from the level sensor. It is necessary to evaluate the performance of the pressure switch and the electrical controller, and determine the condition of the connections between the electronic module and the heater.

 

F09

Non-volatile EEPROM memory failure, SETUP option error. The EEPROM chip or the entire electronic module must be replaced.

 

F10

The tank does not fill completely. For machines with the EVO-I module, the level sensor is diagnosed; for EVO-IIІ, the connections between the controller and the pressure switch are assessed.

 

F11

The drain pump does not work. If the car has an EVO-I controller, you need to diagnose the pressure switch and drain pump, check contacts CN1 and CNF. For equipment with EVO-II, the condition of the controller, pump and contacts between these nodes is assessed.

 

F12

There is no connection between the electrical controller and the display

module. Models with EVO-I require checking both the display module or

controller itself and the integrity of the connecting circuit between them. If a machine with EVO-II breaks down, it is necessary to additionally check

the condition of the SMS connectors of the electrical controller.

 

F13

The temperature sensor circuit is shorted or broken (for machines with a

drying function). Repair actions are similar to error F03.

 

F14

The machine does not dry clothes. Check the controller, drying heating

element and connections between them.

 

F15

Drying does not turn off. The problem may arise due to the pressure switch, connection board, or damage to the circuit between the drying

heater and the electrical controller.

 

F17

The hatch door is not tightly closed. For machines with the Easy Door

option, you need to check:

  • the presence of electrical voltage between contacts 3 and 5 in the hatch lock and between contacts 3 and 4 in connector J4 of the electrical controller;
  • secure closure of the door lock;
  • door lock micro switch operation;
  • electronic controller.

If the Easy Door function is missing, replace the controller and door lock.

 

F18

The connection between the DSP and the electrical controller chips is lost. The main electronic unit needs to be replaced.
