Ariston washing machine does not drain water

Ariston does not drain water Sometimes when washing clothes, consumers notice that the Ariston washing machine does not drain water. And this malfunction is quite common in the Hotpoint Ariston model line. There are several reasons for the appearance, and now we decided to talk about what could happen to household appliances and how to carry out “painless resuscitation.”

The appearance of a breakdown and its causes

If you start to notice that your washing machine is not draining, you need to pay attention to its behavior. First of all, you need to figure out what manifestations the indicated breakdown has. Among the “symptoms” the following clearly stand out:

slow draining, with possible software failure;
after starting, the wash stops when draining;
several times the water drains, and several times it does not;
When washing, everything goes in the standard mode, but at the moment of rinsing, the drainage stops;
Spin is not activated after draining.

What causes the breakdown to occur? The reasons are varied, but in a particular case, the behavior of the washing machine will help determine it. First of all, the equipment may issue an error code indicating the nature of the malfunction.

The pipe connecting the pump and the tank is clogged.
The pump is clogged with a small object.
The garbage filter is clogged.
The pump has failed.
The siphon or pipes are clogged.
The water drain hose is clogged.

Cleaning the garbage filter

The procedure is carried out in several stages. Even if you have no experience in this matter, you should be able to handle it. Well, if you encounter any problem, you can always call the specialist.

First of all, you will need to turn off the water and disconnect the equipment from the power supply.There is a possibility that you will need to move or lift the machine. And you probably don't want to get electrocuted when the remaining water in the machine leaks onto the floor. cleaning the SM Ariston filter

In the second step, you should find where the filter is installed, then open the hatch cover and remove the false panel. As a rule, the hatch is held in place by a latch, which can be pryed off using a flat-head screwdriver. But there are also models where you can open it without additional tools.

Take some rags and drain the remaining water from the machine. In order for the impurities to pour out, the filter must be unscrewed. And in order not to flood the entire floor, you will need to place a small tray or other flat containers under the body.

In some machines, it is not necessary to perform the indicated procedure, because The water itself will flow into the placed container through the built-in gutter. To completely drain the water, you need to turn the filter element plug 45-60 degrees to the left.

Remove the filter. At this step you will need to clean and rinse the filter. Large debris is immediately pulled out, and then the plaque is removed using a dish sponge, and the filter is washed with water. Along with the above, you will need to clean the filter seat in the machine, using the same dish sponge. At the last step, we put the filter back.

Important! It is strictly forbidden to wash the filter with hot water, because... this can lead to its deformation and reduced elasticity of the gasket!

Cleaning the drain pipe

According to statistics, most often the drain does not work precisely because of a clogged pipe. You can only get to it through the bottom of the washer. Models with an open bottom are equipped with a pipe that is led out. You just need to put the equipment on its side, and the pipe will become visible.But models that have a tray or bottom cover require their removal, after which access to the pipe will again open. The Ariston washing machine, or rather its connection, has three connection points: a tank, a pump, and a pressure regulation hose.

The first task is to loosen the pipe clamps at each connection point. Afterwards you just need to move it to the side. In situations where the condition of the pipe is satisfactory, cleaning is performed using a special brush. They can carry out a thorough cleaning and then return the part to its original position. But if there is serious wear or serious damage, it will need to be replaced by installing it on the existing fasteners.

Interesting! You can carry out high-quality cleaning of the pipe with a solution of citric acid. To prepare it, you will need to take 2 liters of water, dissolve 100 grams of lemon juice in it, and then place the pipe in the resulting liquid for several hours. Afterwards, the part will need to be removed and washed thoroughly with cold water.

Drain pump

pipe and pump in SM Ariston If the problem is still relevant and the water still does not drain, you will need to move on to the next step. As part of this, we need to check the pump, or rather, find out whether the impeller is jammed. It is located right behind the filter, and if there is even a small object in it (for example, a rivet from clothing), this can cause a breakdown.

In view of the above, at the initial stage you need to try to rotate the impeller. When it spins and there are no foreign objects, it is in good working order. But in the opposite situations, you will need to immediately remove the foreign object. If this does not solve the problem, check the electrical system of the drain pump.

For these purposes, remove the filter, following the instructions presented above. Then set the spin mode and highlight the filter hole. A small flashlight or phone flash will work for this. When the impeller is stationary, this is a clear indication of a pump failure. So, the fault has already been found, and we need to move on to the next step - installing a new component.

But before you replace the drain pump, you will need to buy it. The design of most washing machines includes standard parts, so we can easily purchase one that suits us at the nearest household appliance store or at the construction market. And if the sales points are located at a decent distance from your home, you can go to the World Wide Web and find the necessary components in online stores.

So, the part has been purchased, and it’s time to install it. To do this, dismantle the drain assembly and disconnect the drain pump from it. Then, with special attention, we remove all the wiring from it, take the purchased part and make a replacement. We return all the wiring and other parts to their original position, and then assemble the Hotpoint Ariston washing machine to its original condition.

At this stage, the question: what to do if the drain is not working is completely resolved. And you can easily restore the functionality of the equipment yourself at home using the instructions provided.
