Troubleshooting - Ariston AW 122 Quick Manual

Troubleshooting

Before calling, read the following
In most cases, when your washing machine fails to work, the problems arising can be easily solved
without having to call for a technician. Before calling for assistance, always check these points.
The washing machine
fails to start.
Is the plug correctly inserted
into the socket? It could have
been moved while cleaning.
Is there electricity in the
house?
A circuit breaker may have
switched off as a result of too
many electrical appliances
working at the same time. Or
maybe due to a general failure
in your entire area.
Is the washing machine
door closed properly?
For safety reasons, the
washer-dryer cannot work if
the door is open or not shut
properly.
"I only want an authorised
specialised technician
with original
Ariston spare parts!"
RIGHT
Turn off the water
supply after use.
This will eliminate
the possibility of
leakage.
Always leave the
appliance door ajar to
avoid bad odours.
Clean the appliance's
exteriors gently.
To clean the
exteriors and the
rubber parts of the
appliance, always use
a soft cloth dipped in
warm and soapy
water.

Instructions for installation and use
Is the On/Off
pressed?
If it is, has a program been
set?
Is the Washer knob in the
correct position for those
models concerned?
Is the water supply turned
on? For safety reasons, if the
washer-dryer does not load
water, it cannot start a wash
cycle.
WRONG
Leave the washing machine plugged
in while cleaning.
Even during maintenance, the
appliance should always be un-
plugged.
Use solvents and aggressive
abrasives.
Never use solvents or abrasives to
clean the external and rubber parts
of the washing machine.
Neglect the detergent dispenser.
It is removable and can easily be
cleaned by leaving it under running
water.

her.
Before leaving, always make sure
that the washing machine is un-
plugged and that the water supply is
turned off.
button But where did all the water go?
Simple: with the new Ariston technology, you need less
than half of it, to get good results on twice as much!
This is why you cannot see the water through the door:
The washing machine
fails to fill with water.
Is the hose correctly
connected to the tap?
Is there a water shortage ?
There could be work in
progress in your building or
street.
Is there sufficient water
pressure? The autoclave
may be malfunctioning.
Is the tap filter clean? If the
water is very hard, or if work
has recently been carried
out on the water piping, the
tap filter could be clogged
with particles and debris.
Is the rubber hose kinked?
The rubber hose bringing
water to washer-dryer must
be as straight as possible.
Make sure it is not squashed
or kinked.
The Washer knob
keeps turning?
Wait a few minutes for the
drain pump to empty the
tub, switch the washer-dryer
off, select one of the

little of it, to respect the
environment yet without
renouncing maximum
cleanliness.
And, on top of that, you are
also saving electricity.
positions stop/Reset , then
switch it back on. If the knob
continues to turn, call for
assistance because it is
showing an anomaly.
The washing machine
continuously fills and
drains water.
Is the drain hose positioned
too low? It must be installed
at a height ranging from 25"
to 34" (62 to 86 cms.).
Is the end of the hose
immersed in water?
Does the wall drainage
system have a breather
pipe? If the problem persists
even after these checks, turn
the water supply off the
machine and call
assistance.
If you live on an upper floor
of your building, there may be
a problem with your drain
trap.
To solve this problem, a
special valve must be
installed.
