Overview of the most common malfunctions of Ariston machines

The main part of the failures is connected with the operation of devices, according to experts of the Ariston service centers. Quite often, users themselves incorrectly exploit their washing machines, regularly make gross errors, which, in fact, lead to breakdowns.

But there are no less common problems that we do not even suspect about during operation. The most striking example is rigid tap water, which is capable of completely ruining the unit.

Rating of the most common faults of the machines "Ariston" looks like this:

1. Zasor. In itself, it is not considered a breakdown, but rather a cause of other, more serious problems. But despite this, it is with clogging masters that you have to work more often.
2. Malfunction of heating elements. Although the heater is of high quality in all models of this manufacturer, it sooner or later fails due to too hard water.
3. Problems with pump, drain pump. These details break very rarely, mostly because of their long life.
4. Filling valve. It is necessary to repair it even less often, rather not the valve itself, but the rubber gasket. The fact is that the tires gradually begin to grind and let in water, and because of this a malfunction occurs. Oil seals, bearings. Such a breakdown, although rare, is the most difficult in terms of elimination. If it arises, then the machine generally stops working.

Solving problems with

clogs Did you notice that there was a blockage, your Ariston washing machine became much worse? Malfunctions and repairs by their own hands, even of this nature, can be carried out, the main thing is to correctly determine the place of clogging.

Important! The main sign of this trouble is manifested by a strong rumble of the drain pump, a delay in the water in the tank. As a rule, it occurs more often during the end of washing, that is, the device does not drain the waste water and can not start rinsing the laundry, and it simply hangs.

The blockage can be formed in such places:

• Between the drain filter and the tank, in the drain pipe. This happens rarely, because the nozzle itself is thick enough.
• In the filter of the drain hose. This is the most common place of blockage.
• In the pump. Such problems are also rare, because the drain pump in such machines is equipped with an additional filter.
• In the drain hose. This happens more often due to incorrect installation of the hose.

To quickly cope with the blockage, you must first of all carefully check and clear the most accessible places in the car. Do this step by step:

1. First you need to turn off the drain filter and remove all debris from it.
2. We then check the drain and the drain hose.
3. We disassemble the device and clean the pump, nozzles. But this is only if all of the above elements have proved to be serviceable and clean.

The water intake valve or the

pump broke. It will be easy for you to identify a problem of this nature if you have a "Hotpoint Ariston" washing machine installed in your home. Repairs with their own hands in this case is very simple.

Important! Characteristic features distinguish this breakdown from others quite easily. The fill valve simply stops overlapping the water and it begins to flow freely into the tank, even when the machine is disconnected from the mains. If you accidentally heard how the water comes into the tank, then be sure one hundred percent that the problem is in the valve.

Checking the fill valve is as follows:

1. Remove the top panel of the devices and unscrew the fasteners.
2. We are looking for a valve, and it is located directly in the place where the body of the machine is connected to a filling hose.
3. We check the rubber gaskets and if they prove to be intact, then we measure the resistance of the device with a multimeter. We install the probes on the valve contacts, we check that the resistance is not less than 30 Ohm.
4. If it is still faulty, then it will have to be replaced with a similar one.

Important! If the problem is in the pump, then you have to spend a lot of money for repairs. A broken pump does not allow the machine to drain the water as expected, it does not produce characteristic sounds and can not hear the murmur of drained water. Repair of the washing machine "Ariston" with their own hands is inappropriate in this case, in particular because of its high cost and the great importance of correct installation for proper and high-quality operation of the device.

Problems with

heating elements Details for heating water are the most important in the design of any machine, as they not only allow you to reach the desired temperature according to the selected program, but also are responsible for the quality of washing. If the heater is defective, then the device either does not start at all, or gives an error. To replace this element, you need to disassemble the washing machine in this way:

1. We unfold the device and find the service hatch attached to the body by latches and screws.
2. Unscrew the fastening elements and squeeze the detent with the screwdriver, which will make it easy to remove the cover.
3. Under the cover there will be a heater, which looks like two big contacts with a special fastening element right in the middle.
4. We unscrew the screws and pull out the heater, then change it and collect the device according to the same scheme.

How to solve the problem with broken bearings?

Earlier we have already found out that the least frequent problems with the Ariston devices are the failure of oil seals and bearings. But they have a place to be, and it is recommended to solve them as quickly as possible.

We already know how to disassemble the washing machine "Ariston", so there should not be any difficulties.

Important! First you need to understand how such a malfunction manifests itself. If the bearing collapses, it starts to make an unpleasant sound because of the strong friction of the shaft about the bushing. If you tighten it with repair, then such a breakdown will inevitably lead to the spillage of the drum and damage to the tank.

Bearing replacement stages in Ariston devices:

1. We disassemble the plastic tank. First remove the pulley, screwed with a screw on the stopper paste. It is not easy to do this, but it is possible, but the hammer will help in this. Gently tapping on the base of the screw, twist it. Pull out the pulley, you need slowly, slowly rocking it from side to side.
2. Knock the shaft out of the drum and the tank. First, we put a wooden block on the shaft, and then knock it with a hammer.
3. We divide the tank into two parts. In most models, they are bolted together, which are easily unscrewed and allow you to disassemble it. Part of the cuff side is removed very easily, but the second part should be removed very carefully, so as not to damage the drum.
4. Inspect to see how spoiled the shaft bushing is. If it is already unusable, then replace it with a new one.
5. We knock out the outer bearing with a hammer and a metal rod and pull it out.
6. Turn the tank over and knock out the second bearing that is on the inside.
7. We remove the stuffing box and clean the bearings from rust, lubricate them with special grease.
8. Installation of already working bearings starts from the inside, just like driving it back.
9. Then perform all the actions in reverse order.

Now you are convinced that the repair of the washing machine "Ariston" with your own hands is possible. But in most cases, provided that you have at least some understanding of the internal arrangement of such equipment and the experience of disassembly and repair of household appliances. If you doubt your own abilities, it's better to immediately contact the service center, otherwise - correcting the errors of your repair can then be much more expensive than the initial help of a qualified master.
