Error (fault) codes for Indesit and Ariston washing machines
Nowadays, almost all automatic washing machines that you can purchase in household appliance stores have a special fault detection system. It identifies a breakdown or failure and displays an error code on the machine display. This makes it easier to diagnose, find and correct the defect that has arisen. This system is found in household appliances manufactured by INDESIT COMPANY, previously this organization was called MERLONI. The most popular washing machines produced by this company are called Ariston and Indesit (Ariston and Indesit).
Models made under these brands for quite a long time and equipped with an already outdated EVO-I control system also have the ability to inform the user about errors that have arisen. Only error codes are displayed not using the display, but due to the blinking of the indicator light. The essence of determining the code using blinking is quite simple. For example, flashing 5 times with a very short time interval, after which the flashing stops for a while and then repeats again, will tell us that an error code F05 has occurred.
In washing machines that are made with the EVO-II control system, there is another way to determine the error code. Different models that have this system differ in functionality. And this makes it a little difficult to read errors.
Inexpensive washing machines made under the Indesit and Ariston brands do not have a display. In such models, error data is shown by displaying a whole combination of glowing indicators.
It is easier for everyone to understand the error code on washing machines equipped with a display.There letters and numbers are shown on this very display.
How to determine the error code on an EVO-II machine without a display?
In such washing machines, you can understand the fault code using the light that appears at various indicators. The indicators of such models are as follows:
- KH1 – Timer,
- KN2 – Super wash,
- KN3 - Quick. wash,
- KN4 – Add. Rinsing,
- LED 4 - Wringing out clothes.
Some of these indicators light up, and by which of them do this, you can understand what error has occurred.
List of EVO-II errors and their interpretation
- Only KH4 lights up - error F01 – The control triac of the electric motor has closed.
- Only KH3 lights up - error F02 – The tachogenerator does not indicate that the car’s engine is running. This can happen if the drive belt is stuck, the circuit is short-circuited, or the circuit is broken.
- KH3 and KH4 are lit - error F03 – a short circuit has occurred or the temperature sensor circuit has broken.
- KN2 – F4 – simultaneous information about opposite things (the level relay reports that the tank is full and empty).
- KN2 and KN4 – F5 – After the command to drain water from the tank has occurred, the level switch does not indicate that the tank is empty. In this case, the following malfunctions are possible: breakdown of the pressure switch (level switch), failure of the drain pump (pump), or clogging of the drain system.
- KN2 and KN3 – F6 – The command was not understood, there was an error in the buttons on the control panel.
- KN2, KN3 and KN4 – F07 – The heating element of the washing machine (heating element) does not heat. Can happen when it is not in the water.
- KN1 – F08 – The contact group of the heating element relay is “stuck”. The heating element is broken or there is a problem with the wires.
- KN1 and KN4 – F09 – The volatile memory of the machine has gone wrong.
- KN1 and KN3 – F10 – There is no message that the washing machine tank is empty or full from the pressure switch (level switch).
- KN1, KN3 and KN4 – F11 – There is no electricity supply to the drain pump. Most likely, there was a wire break.
- KN1 and KN2 – F12 – There is no communication between the controller and the display module.
- KN1, KN2 and KN4 – F13 – The wires are broken or the temperature sensor circuit is shorted.
- KN1, KN2 and KN3 – F14 – The drying heating element is faulty. Such a breakdown is possible only in machines that have a laundry drying function.
- KN1, KN2, KN3 and KN4 – F15 – The drying heating element has failed. This breakdown can occur in washing machines with a drying function.
- All indicators are off – F16 – The drum of the washing machine is jammed (only for models with vertical loading of laundry).
- LED4 and KN4 – F17 – There is no voltage supplied to the washing machine door lock. Or is it in the open position?
- LED4 and KN3 – F18 – Communication failure between the controller and the processor controlling the electric motor (asynchronous).

Detailed analysis of error codes for Indesit and Ariston washing machines and their repairs
Next, we’ll talk in more detail about the errors that occur when washing machines break down and malfunction and how to fix them.
Start of table:
| Code | Diagnostics and repair | Explanations |
| F01 | The triac of the electric motor has shorted. You need to do the following:
| In most cases, such a breakdown is associated with a malfunction of the washing machine motor. |
| F02 | The washing machine motor is not working.Short circuit or disturbance in the tachogenerator circuit. What to do?
Resistance is measured at connector J9. Between the first and second contact. If the circuit is closed, then test the wiring from the tachometer. If the machine uses an asynchronous motor, you need to make sure that the sixth and seventh contacts of the same connector are securely connected and in good working order. The motor and electronics module may need to be replaced. | Possible contact failure in the tachometer block. It is also likely that foam has penetrated into it. If it is short-circuited, then on the electronics module you will be able to find a couple of tracks and a couple of resistors that have become unusable. |
| F03 | The heating element relay is stuck or there is a problem with the NTC temperature sensor circuit.
| If everything that is indicated in the “Diagnostics and Repair” column does not help, then you need to reflash the energy lock. EEPROM memory. |

Indesit vertical loading machine. When turned on, 3 lights flash: red door lock, stain removal and anti-crease functions. What to do?
Hello, my machine pumps water and immediately drains it, what’s wrong? The drain filter is clean.
The drain hose is not located at a height of 65-100 cm from the floor, or the end of the drain hose is immersed in water, it is also possible that the wall drain hole is not equipped with a plunger to release air
The problem may be due to improper placement of the drain hose. Check the recommended maximum height. Usually it is indicated in the instructions for the machine.
The machine fills water several times, works every other time, the spindle does not always work, it does not show an error on the display, the spin works.
After washing, 3 green lights on the machine come on (3, 6, 9,) and the locking light does not light up. The doors are locked and will not open until you unplug it. What's broken, please tell me.
When turned on, all the lights blink except 2h 4h 6h, but not constantly. If you unplug it from the network, it stops flashing like that.And when any mode is set, all the lights begin to blink. Approximately about 30 seconds. Then the mode is set and Indesit executes the program without failure. Then everything starts all over again! What is the problem? If possible, please send an answer by email.
Tell me, the spin doesn't work. And the speed and door lock lights blink.
