In detail: ardo se 810 do-it-yourself repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Read the recommendations for repairing the Ardo washing machine from the master!
The manufacturer (translated from Italian home appliances) is Antonio Merloni.
Front loading standard - FL models.
Drying - WD.
- 30% - blockage of the drain path, wear and damage to the pump:
We open the loading door, on the sticker we determine the model of the machine.
Having unscrewed the drain filter at the front at the bottom, we clean it.
We change the pump, which is located at the bottom right on the back side.
We loosen the clamp on the drain pump branch pipe.
We check the pump, clean it - in case of a malfunction, we change it.
Over time, mechanical wear appears on the shaft. The impeller dangles and does not pump out water well.
- 20% - malfunction of the electronic control board:
MINISEL board: Ardo models FL1000, FL1202, FLS81S, A800XEL, AE810, AE800X, SE810, FLS81S, AED1000X, TL1000EX, TL1010E ANNA610, ANNA 600X, A410, A610, A500, A1000.
We look at the power supply and the level of constant voltages (5 and 12 V) at its outputs. If there are no voltages at the IP output, check the corresponding elements - a power switch, a power filter, a power transformer T1, a rectifier (D11-D14), a U1 microcircuit.
Module DMPU: Models A800, A804, A810, A814, WD800X, S1000X, T80, T800, TL800X, TL804, etc.
Malfunctions in the DMPU module
breakage of resistances R51 (A, B);
stabilizer U3;
Zener diode D24 (short circuit);
open varistor VDR5.
relay K1, K2;
Rsimistor TR2.
Diodes D1-D6, D9-10, D15, D23.
A thing of the past module DMPA:
They are used in typewriters with an asychronous drive motor and a mechanical controller.
Models A1000PL, A1000XCZ, A1000XPL, WD1000PL, TL1000X, etc.
The wear of the heating element increases with “hard” water.

Overgrowing with scale (scab), it gives off heat poorly and burns out.
You need to pull out the gum and not the heating element. Since pulling out the heating element, you can wedge the gum.?
This is important to avoid further leakage under the seal.
- 10% - wear of brushes of the collector motor, loosening of contacts, breakage of the drive belt
Remove the belt, unscrew the screws and remove the engine. The motor has two brushes, each attached with two screws. We unscrew the screws and remove the brushes.
Inspect the board motor power supply terminal and ground wire.
Very often, the contacts are oxidized from moisture and the machine gives an error because of this.
Each brush is installed in a brush holder. It can be taken apart into two halves. Pay attention to how much the brush protrudes.
This size should be at least 1 cm. The best option is 1.5 cm. After that, we assemble everything and put it back in place.
- 10% - extraneous noise (bearings, shock absorbers, foreign object)
Having jammed the pulley, unscrew the upper shaft clamping nut counterclockwise.
If the oil seal is not filled with a specialized grease and the cross bushing is not lubricated with it during assembly, the oil seal will wear out very quickly, no matter what quality it is, this has been proven in practice.
It is not worth saving and improvising with lithol, grease and other lubricants, get better specialized lubricants that are used to lubricate the oil seals.
Standard sizes of Ardo bearings and seals:
This applies to modern technology - since 2000 (models AE800X, AED1000X, TL1OOOEX).
Thanks to it, you can diagnose (control module DMPU):
Close the hatch (without linen). Set the program selection to 30 ° C until it clicks. The temperature regulator to 0 ° C. Turn on. The drum rotates at 250 rpm. To check the buttons half load, additional rinse and others, press them. The spin speed increases from 250 to the maximum, provided for this model. In the absence of additional functions, press the spin button.
Indicators will blink when a malfunction is detected.
- E00 | E01 - Draining. Clean the drain filter and drain connections.
E02 - Water does not flow in correctly or is drained off. The drain hose may not be positioned correctly.
E03 - Water is not drained from the tank, also the drain time has exceeded 3 minutes.
F2 - Temperature sensor.
F4 - It is issued on the display if there is no water drain. A possible cause is a drain pump.
F5 - The water is drained and instantly poured. The problem is usually in the water supply filter.
F6 | F9 | F12 - Electronic module.
F8 - The water in the tank has exceeded the available level. Suspicion of an aquastop valve.
F13 | F14 - Critical.
Breakdowns are rare, usually associated with improper operation. Italian technology is distinguished by its high manufacturability and versatility.
How to carry out a service test equipped with the MINI-SEL board:
Control panels look different
The steps to enter the check mode are shown in the figures.
- move the program selector knob to the 6 o'clock position
- press the button 4 - ENERGY WASH and, while holding it, press the POWER button.
After that, the CM should go into test mode.
With temperature control knob:
- turn the program selector knob to the 6 o'clock position
- move the temperature selection knob to the 9 o'clock position
- press and hold the ENERGY button (for at least 6 s), at the same time turn on the power supply of the CM with the POWER button.
After that, the CM should go into test mode.
Turning the selection knob, we check the devices:
Knob in position 1 (autotest) - NTC temperature sensor (sensor circuit - for open or short circuit), pressostat, display (if any), door lock and main function buttons on the control panel
2. First, the cold water inlet valve is opened until a signal is issued from the water pressure sensor. The filling of water takes place through the compartment of the dispenser for the PREVIEW.
3. First, the heating element turns on and the water in the tank heats up to 60 ° C. Then the CM drum starts to rotate in a cyclic mode at a speed of 45 rpm (as in a washing mode).
4. The drain pump (pump) turns on. At the same time, the drum starts to rotate as during spinning.
5. Within 10 s, the hot water filling valve is turned on (if this CM model has it). At the same time, the CM drum starts to rotate.
6. The fan and heating element of drying are included (for models with drying)
The test mode is exited by turning off the power with the POWER button.
If you are interested in self-repair of Ardo washing machines, it means that the machine has broken down and you would like to save money on repairs.
While others convince you to call the technician, we will help you carry out the repair yourself. To make it easier for you to understand everything, we will consider the main breakdowns, fault codes and provide detailed repair instructions.
FIND A MANUAL FOR YOUR WASHING MACHINE ARDO IT IS POSSIBLE AT US ON THE SITE. Is free! The instructions can be downloaded or viewed online.
Service center technicians claim that all faults in ARDO brands are divided into 2 types: typical and rare.
Typical. These are glitches typical for all washers, not only the Ardo brand, but also any others. For example, in every typewriter, such a misfortune can happen: water does not drain, it leaks, the drum is blocked, and so on.
Rare. Such breakdowns are associated with the brand of the machine, and depend on the technologies used in the manufacture of the CM. These include a tank full of water, insufficiently heated water, and others.
Attention! According to experts, in 9 out of 10 cases, Ardo washing machines with normal and vertical loading bother the owners with typical breakdowns that are not related to production features. This proves once again that the ARDO technique is quite reliable.
A breakdown is usually reported by a number of symptoms. By carefully studying them, you can recognize the failure. Therefore, it is better to start with an overview of the most common signs of breakdowns:
- Water does not drain. This can happen for a number of reasons, among which, mainly, a blockage of the drain system, consisting of a branch pipe, a drain hose and a pump (drain pump). It is extremely rare that this problem occurs due to the failure of the thermal sensor.
- The water stopped heating. This is especially noticeable in high-temperature washing modes. You can understand that the water does not heat up by looking at the cold linen and unwashed stains on it. Failure of the heating element (heating element) causes a breakdown. Limescale and scale slowly but surely destroy the part, causing it to burn out. The wasted resource of the part is also not excluded.
- The drum stopped spinning - it was stuck rooted to the spot. The device of Ardo washing machines is such that the drum is driven by a special belt. If the belt comes off the pulley or breaks, the tank will stop spinning. In this case, you need to fix or replace the belt.
- Noise and "left" sounds - knocking, hum, rumbling. If you hear them in operation, then the reason lies in the bearings. An object that has fallen into the tank often makes noise - a button, a coin, etc.
- Water leak. The fault of a dangerous breakdown is a violation in the pump or pipes. In the most severe case, you will need to replace the bearing and oil seals of the Ardo washing machine.
- The program crashed. The machine does not start. All this is typical for a breakdown of the control module.
Don't panic, you can often do without a master. Perhaps, having correctly identified the breakdown and its cause, you can fix the washing machine yourself.
Modern washing machines are complex devices, in the microprocessor of which breakdown codes are programmed. They appear on the display whenever a fault occurs.
In the most frequent cases, the Ardo brand SM displays the following error codes: E00, E01, E02, E03, F2, F4, F5, F13, F14.
Elimination options:
1. It is necessary to check the presence of water in the water supply. It is trite, but very often the reason for the appearance of an imaginary malfunction is such funny things.
2. The inlet hose is squashed or clogged. We check visually for the absence of compression. We unscrew the hose from the washing machine, turn on the tap and see if the water will pass through? Of course, care must be taken to ensure that the water does not drain onto the floor. If the water does not come out, we find and remove the blockage. The hose with a leakage valve after the protection has been triggered will have to be replaced with a new one.
3. The filler mesh on the back of the washing machine is cleaned. The mesh is quite fine and often clogged with rust or other particles from the tap water. The filter can be easily removed with pliers and cleaned thoroughly.
4. It is necessary to make sure that the filling valve is in good working order. It is located just behind the filter. The valve becomes accessible after removing the top cover of the washing machine. Perhaps the wires of its power have come off or frayed. To check the functionality, the valve itself can be removed and connected to the voltage indicated on its body. Should open. If it does not work, you will have to change the valve to a new one.
5. The problem may be related to a faulty water level sensor. Or, in another way, the pressure switch. You can also find it under the top cover. It is removed quite easily. It is held in place by screws or latches on the body of the washing machine. We check the integrity of the wires and their connection to the sensor. A tube comes up to the pressure switch from below. It may be clogged. The simplest test for the performance of the sensor after removing it is to blow into its tube. If you hear a click, the pressure switch is most likely working properly. Otherwise, you will have to change to a new one. It is important not to mix up the wires when installing a new one.
Common causes and solutions:
1. Again, about the banal - you need to make sure that the sewer pipe is not clogged. Maybe the car just has nowhere to drain the water. Of course, this is possible with machines with a permanently connected drain. We also check the drain hose of the washing machine. It should not be kinked or twisted. Basically, you can disconnect the hose from the sewer and check if water comes out of it when draining? If it comes out, we clean the sewerage system. If not, check the hose for clogging. Problem still exists? We look further.
2. The drain filter is clogged. Simple, but the most common reason for the lack of a drain. The filter is located at the bottom of the washing machine under the door or decorative panel.It is a screw plug screwed into the machine body using a standard right-hand thread. Accordingly, the filter is unscrewed counterclockwise. Do not forget to place a tray under the washing machine to collect the flowing water. After removal, the filter is cleaned of impurities. You will need to remove the excess in the place where the filter was installed. Next, reverse the process and check the drain. Most often it helps.
3. Blocked or faulty drain pump. A common problem for Ardo washing machines is the blocking of the pump due to foreign objects entering it. Various coins, buttons and other items left in the pockets of the washed clothes, getting inside the drain pump, prevent it from performing its functions. A symptom of a blockage of a working pump - at the moment the drain is turned on, the pump hums, tries to expel water, but cannot. Another option is that the pump has become completely unusable. In any case, he will have to be removed. In Ardo washing machines, it is very easy to access the drain pump from the bottom of the machine. They have no bottom or are covered with an easily removable plastic strip. It is enough to lay the car on one side and the access is open. Before removing, you can check the operation of the pump with a multimeter. Further, the clamp of the rubber pipe is loosened and it is separated from the pump. The same procedure is for the drain hose. Power wires are disconnected. It remains to unscrew the screws that hold the pump and remove it. A serviceable pump is disassembled. And foreign objects are removed from it. The defective one is replaced with a new one.
4. The lack of drainage can be caused by incorrect operation of the pressure switch. It simply may not send a signal to the control module to drain. We have already discussed what needs to be done with the water level sensor above.
2. A rare, but possible breakdown is a malfunction of the temperature sensor. It is checked by measuring the resistance at room temperature and when heated with hot water. A non-working sensor is simply replaced.
3. It is necessary to make sure that there is no "sticking" of the contact group of the heating element relay on the control module.
The ARDO washing machine is quite reliable, has some of the best price and quality indicators. Has a sufficient range of washing programs, providing all types of washing in everyday life, washing class - "A". ARDO washing machines from the mid-90s are still in operation, this of course is much newer. Received for renovation due to the constant flood of water. There are several reasons for this malfunction: 1) Malfunction of the solenoid valve. 2) Incorrect connection of the draining machine (siphon effect). 3) Faulty level switch. 4) Faulty wiring. 5) Malfunction of the electronic module. The troubleshooting technique is described in the article: "List of possible malfunctions of the washing machine." In this case, there is no need to test the operation of the washing machine. The malfunction is obvious. The cradle of another module showed that it was defective.
electronic module. To check the functionality, you can substitute a module for 1000 revolutions. It should be remembered that before substituting another module, make sure that all other elements are in good working order and that there are no short circuits. Otherwise, you can burn the new module. An attempt to quickly repair the module was unsuccessful. Sevensters, responsible for the gulf of water, are in good order. The machine was urgently needed, so the time was not spent on the repair of the module, but the module was replaced. More about repair, washing machine ARDO, read the article “Washing machine ARDO S1000X. There is no gulf of water. " We considered the issues of connecting a washing machine. In the near future, this issue will be raised again, dedicated to connecting to the water supply and protecting the apartment from flooding with water.
The repair of the washing machine is over, we are checking its operation. The article has come to an end. You can write questions, advice and recommendations to me using the "Feedback" form posted on the page of the same name.Leave your opinions in the comments.

Finally, a little discharge:
Washing the machine is repaired. The husband, paying for the work done, says:
- Kindly show how this unit works.
- Put "synthetics", 40 degrees, put the laundry in the hole, pour the powder, press this button. The rest is done by itself.
Any household appliances fail sooner or later. In some cases, this is physical wear and tear of parts and components of the unit, in others, incorrect connection and operation, and in others, marriage. We will devote this article to such a technique as Ardo washing machines, consider their typical breakdowns, the reasons for such breakdowns, and how to repair Ardo washing machines with our own hands.The user understands about the breakdown of the washing machine based on specific symptoms. Only after studying these symptoms, he can assume a breakdown of a particular unit. Therefore, we will start by listing the most common symptoms.
- The machine has stopped draining water. This can happen for several reasons, the main of which is the clogging of the drain system, which includes: a branch pipe, a drain hose and a pump. In very rare cases, the water does not drain due to a breakdown of the water level sensor.
- The machine does not heat up the water, especially when washing 60-90 0 C. The reason for this malfunction is the breakdown of the heating element, which burns out due to limescale and settling scale. But the development of the resource of the heating element is also possible.
- The drum does not rotate in the machine, it stands still. In Ardo washing machines, the tank rotates due to the drive belt, and if it breaks or falls off the pulley, the machine will stop. The problem is solved by replacing the drive belt.
- Extraneous sounds appeared in the typewriter, similar to knocking or crashing. If such a knock is heard when the machine is turned off, then the reason is clearly in faulty bearings. Another reason for the rumble can be a foreign object in the tank.
- Is there water leaking under the machine? The reason must be looked for in the drain filter or pipes. In the worst case, you need to change the oil seals and bearings.
- Programs get lost or the machine does not turn on at all, which means that the reason lies in a malfunction of the electronic board.
Before you panic and call the master, take a close look and listen to the "symptoms" that appear, perhaps you yourself can find the cause or even carry out repairs yourself.
In many washing machines, the manufacturer has programmed error codes into the microprocessor, which appear on the display in the event of a malfunction. Here are some examples of codes of common malfunctions. A all codes of any Ardo model can be found in the instructions.
- E00 or E01 - no water drainage due to clogged drain filter.
- E02 - incorrect draining during spinning, the position of the drain hose is violated.
- E03 or F4 - the drain time is exceeded, the drain pump is broken.
- F2 - problems with the temperature sensor, heating element or control board.
- F5 - self-draining, wrong connection of hoses.
- F13 or F14 - malfunction in the control module.
Having found out the cause of the malfunction, we determine - call the master or we will repair it ourselves. In some situations, it really is not worth overpaying, but doing the repair yourself. For example, blockages that have arisen can be removed. Most of the garbage accumulates in the drain filter, so cleaning it belongs to minor repairs and can cost about 600 rubles. Although in fact, there is nothing complicated about it:
- Open a small door at the bottom of the front of the machine or remove the bottom panel.
- Then place a large, absorbent cloth on the floor in the area of the filter.
- Unscrew the valve counterclockwise.
- Pull out the filter.
- Rinse it well with water, remove hair and other debris.
- Screw the filter back on.
The problem is debris can become clogged not only in the filter, but also in the drain hose, nozzles and the drain pump... To get to them, you will have to open the car body. And this is classified as repairs of medium complexity, the price for which starts from 1,200 rubles, and if a malfunction of a spare part is found during the disassembly of the machine, then you will have to buy a spare part as well.
If a foreign object gets stuck in the tank, such as a bra bone, then you will have to completely disassemble the machine. Such repairs are assessed as difficult and will cost at least 2,000 rubles. And if you are wondering how you can get an item out of the car, then you can read an article on how to remove a bra bone from a typewriter.
You can replace or clean the pump yourself if you have free time and skills in working with simple tools.
In the Ardo washing machine, you can get to the pump from the bottom side, it is either absent, or the plastic strip can be easily removed. The entire algorithm of actions and video instructions are in an article on our website on how to clean the drain pump in a washing machine.
If it is necessary to clean the drain hose, then one end of it must be pulled out of the sewer pipe, and the other must be disconnected from the pipe coming from the pump. Then the hose itself is cleaned with a flexible cable, at the end of which there is a small brush. After that, the hose must be rinsed under running water, wiped and connected in place.
Quite often, a heating element fails in washing machines. Diagnosing its malfunction is simple: when washing things in water heated to 60 0 C, put your hand to the drum hatch. And if it is cold, it means one thing - the ten is burnt out, you will have to change it. Replacing a heating element refers to repairs of medium complexity, the cost of which will cost up to 2,000 rubles plus the cost of the heating element. But do not rush, because getting to the heating element is not difficult and you can do this through the back cover of the case, for this:
- We disconnect the machine from the network, disconnect it from the water supply and sewerage system, deploy it so that it is convenient to work.
- We unscrew the self-tapping screws around the perimeter of the machine that hold the cover.
- We find contacts and wires coming from the heating element under the tank, remove the terminals and sensors.
- We unscrew the bolt that secures the heating element.
- Gently, with blabbing movements, we pull the ten on ourselves, you can pick up the ten with a screwdriver.
- We clean the heating element holder from debris.
- We take the original heating element for the Ardo typewriter, insert it into the holder for the heating element, so that the sealing gum completely fits into place.
- We tighten the bolt, connect all the terminals.
- We collect the machine.
Pay attention! Regular cleaning of the washing machine from scale will extend the life of the heating element, but you should not rely on advertised water softeners.
Replacing the electronic module is also not difficult and belongs to the middle class. However, this is in the case when there is confidence that the module will have to be completely replaced one hundred percent. But in some situations, the module can be repaired by replacing individual elements on it. This is of particular importance, because the module itself is quite expensive, in some models its price is one third of the price for the entire machine. It is not uncommon for people to refuse such repairs and buy a new automatic machine.
Working with electronics is specific, it is necessary to possess not only the skills of working with tools, but also knowledge in a certain area. Therefore, in such a situation, it is better to contact a specialist who accurately diagnoses the malfunction and can replace the element correctly.
For your information! There were times when some craftsmen independently changed the control module, connecting all terminals and sensors, and as a result, the new module burned out.
The most difficult repair, according to experts, is the replacement of bearings and oil seals in Ardo washing machines.This is because you have to almost completely disassemble the machine and take out the tank, and the bearings themselves are difficult to remove. Special tools, patience and dexterity may be required. In such a situation, it is much wiser to give the car to the craftsmen than to repair it in your apartment, where there is not much room to turn around.
For those who still want to save money or gain experience in repairing washing machines, we suggest watching a detailed video on replacing bearings.
