Ariston dryer error codes

Ariston dryer error codes Dryers made in recent years are complex devices equipped with many different components. When operating such units, various malfunctions are possible, which can be detected using the self-diagnosis function built into the system. This process looks like this: when any errors occur in the operation of the device, the machine displays a code that will need to be deciphered. If you don't have any technical knowledge in this area, don't worry. Our article today will help you understand such designations and the reasons for their occurrence.

What problems are included in the self-diagnosis system?

In most cases, the Ariston dryer is quite reliable, however, like any other equipment, it is prone to breakdowns. This is why it is very important to know how to properly respond to an error code. It consists of one Latin letter, two Arabic numerals and is the key to deciphering the malfunction.

For example, a code such as F01 means that the motor thyristor has short-circuited in the system. In this case, it is necessary to inspect the chain and, if a break occurs, carry out repairs, as well as replace the failed part. Error F02 indicates that the motor has stopped rotating or the fan is blocked - you should pay attention to the components and remove foreign objects that may interfere with their normal functioning. It would also be a good idea to inspect the wiring and contacts. In addition to those listed, there are other codes.

F03 – means an open or short circuit of the thermistor circuit, a breakdown of the NTC sensor, or the main processor.It is necessary to diagnose the thermistor circuit, sensor and processor. Then you should install the correct elements.
F04 - indicates that the air pump is not working. We need diagnostics of this part and its circuit. After which you will need to connect a new node.
F05 - occurs when the air pump does not give a signal. Inspect the wiring, tighten the contacts from the board to the pump. Also, do not forget to clean oxidized contacts.
F08 – heater relay malfunction. Need diagnostics. If necessary, replace the part.
F09 - indicates that the software has failed. In this case, it is better to contact a service center. Specialists will help resolve this problem.

When you carry out repairs yourself, do not forget that incorrect manipulations can worsen the condition of the dryer and increase the risk of fire or electric shock!

The system errors listed above are far from the only ones. For example, code F10 notifies that there is poor air flow from the heating element and in order to eliminate this, you need to clean the heating element. F11 makes it clear that there is no contact with the blower, and you will need to check the circuit and connections, and if it breaks, replace the blower. F12 indicates that the connection between the display and the control board has been broken. You should inspect the wiring, tighten all contacts and install a working board.

F13 means that the temperature controller circuit has broken and this fault needs to be repaired. F15 stands for failure of the heating element relay, break or short circuit of its circuit. Here it is important to diagnose all elements and replace them with working ones. F17 occurs if the power element has failed. Dryer heating element

Remember: ignoring the codes on the dryer control panel can lead to serious consequences, including breakdown of the equipment itself. That is why it is important to be attentive to such situations and take timely measures to eliminate errors. It is worth noting that regular maintenance and preventive maintenance of the device will help to significantly reduce the likelihood of breakdowns, so do not forget to monitor the condition of your household appliances and pay enough attention to them.

Ariston dryer stopped starting

Each brand of equipment has its own characteristic faults. The Ariston dryer is no exception. Basically, it may have problems with the temperature sensor, motor, heating element and capacitor. It is also worth noting the possibility of stretching the drive belt, wear of the bearings and oxidation of the terminals.

If yesterday your machine was working properly, but today it stopped starting, the first thing you should do is check whether the power cord is plugged into the outlet and whether it works on its own. It is also important to make sure that other devices function from it. If everything is fine with the power supply, the device may not work due to a malfunction of some component. It may consist of:

in the established delay in starting the program;
in a filled condensate tank;
in a broken loading hatch door lock;
the thermostat is broken;
in a blown fuse.
in the temperature sensor (the contacts could come loose, or the part itself could fail);
in the motor (strong voltage surges led to engine failure);
in the fuse or starter switch (if damaged, these parts must be replaced).

There may be other sources of problems.Be sure to make sure that there is no oxidation on the terminals, because due to increased humidity, condensation may form on them. To eliminate it, simply clean the contacts. Don’t forget to check the condenser: it can overfill due to a large amount of collected threads, lint and other clothing dust, which significantly disrupts heat transfer and prevents the removal of moisture from the working chamber.

Sometimes it happens that the cause of malfunctions is a breakdown of the control buttons. If they are damaged, the Ariston dryer will not respond to pressure. Also, the operating condition of the device is affected by a hatch that is not completely closed.

The door should be properly locked; if you do not hear a click, try pressing the door tighter.

The device may not start the work cycle due to the activated “Delayed start” option. Check to see if this function is enabled and, if so, be sure to disable the mode. The device sometimes does not turn on due to a basic lack of power.

As you can see, the reasons why the dryer stops starting can be different, from lack of connection to the network and ending with mechanical damage. If you can’t fix it yourself, we recommend turning to professionals. The device may require diagnosis and repair by an experienced technician.

In order to avoid such breakdowns, it is extremely important to adhere to the basic rules. Try not to overload the “home assistant” drum and always take into account the drying class to eliminate the risk of breaking the drive belt. Also, do not load laundry that is too wet into the device.Always set the appropriate mode for a particular type of clothing and be sure to drain the water from the condenser, because if dirt accumulates in it, overheating and even a fire may occur. Remember: when you take care of your machine, it will thank you in the future for long and trouble-free operation.
