Think for yourself: how many people ask similar questions - where do you think you can get so many photos (taking into account the huge variety of models and brands of cars and the equally huge variety of breakdowns in different nodes)?

A gentleman is a person with whom you feel like a gentleman. Repair of washing, dishwashers, sewing machines and boilers in Nizhny Novgorod
Washing machine Hotpoint Ariston of the Italian manufacturer is reliable and of high quality. But some parts of the washing machine sometimes become unusable.
You can, of course, send it to a service center for repair, but in order to save money and with skillful hands and a smart head, you can independently repair an electromechanical household appliance.
Do-it-yourself repair of the Ariston washing machine is easy to do. Follow our instructions for restoring the washing machine, and your assistant will serve you for many years.
In the Ariston electromechanical device, the main reason for the incorrect operation of the machine is blockages.
In addition, the heating element becomes unusable due to the appearance of limescale on the heating element due to hard water.
The pump can also be faulty due to its long operation.
Sometimes the filler valve fails due to damage to the rubber gasket.
In rare cases, bearings and seals have to be changed.
Electronics almost never breaks down, but we will still touch on the issue of replacing the control unit a little.
Video (click to play).
It is easy to remove the blockage with your own hands. You need to check the drain filter, which is located on the lower right under the panel.
After cleaning the filter, you will eliminate the cause of the malfunction of the washing machine. Less commonly, the drain pipe is clogged because it is thick.
There may be a blockage in the pump, but rarely, because there is an additional filter in front of it.
The drain hose will only become clogged if you have not installed it correctly.
Check the drain, there may be a blockage in it too. Disassemble the unit, pull out the branch pipe by loosening the clamps, flush it. Pull out the pump by unscrewing the fasteners and disconnecting the sensors.
Signs of a pump breakdown:
The drain pump hums, but the water does not drain.
The machine may stop when the system is running.
Water flows out slowly.
Repair of the pump of the Ariston washing machine must be done as follows:
If the filler valve is broken in Ariston, then water constantly flows into the washer, even when it is not working, it is disconnected from the network.
To check the filler valve, you need to unscrew the fasteners and remove the top cover. The valve is located where the drain hose connects to the body of the electromechanical unit.
Check the gaskets first. If they have not lost their performance, measure the resistance of the valve. Put the probes on the contacts of the filler valve and check the resistance, whether it is optimal (from 30 to 50 ohms).
If it is less or more than the set value, it means that the water intake valve is not working. To replace it, you need to unscrew the old valve from the body and screw in a new one. Be sure to connect the sensors.
If the heating element is faulty, then it is imperative to replace it. Its breakdown is indicated by the fact that the water does not heat up or washing in all programs takes place in cold water. Sometimes the machine gives an error and stops.
To replace the heating element, the rear wall must be removed. There are two contacts under the tank with a fastener in the middle. This is ten. Measure the resistance of the heating element with a multimeter.
If the resistance is within the normal range, then there is no need to change the heating element - it is serviceable. To remove the heating element, you need to unscrew the screw in the middle and pull it towards you with swinging movements.
The water may not heat up also due to the fragile connection of the wires to the heating element, which arises from the strong vibration of the washing machine. Water heating may also be absent if the temperature sensor is faulty.
Take a tester or multimeter and check the resistance of the sensor when cold and hot. If the resistance is the same, then it is broken, requires replacement. The resistance should be different.
The high-quality and durable material from which the drum of household appliances is made also becomes unusable, because solid foreign objects get into it, which can damage the unit, forming cracks on it.
The plastic rib inside the drum can deform. Remove the drum to replace it.
To remove the drum yourself, you need the following set of tools:
a set of screwdrivers, especially a Phillips screwdriver and a slotted nozzle are needed;
screwdriver;
pliers;
hammer;
hexagons of different sizes.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the bolts from the back, front, and top walls, and then remove the panels themselves.
Dismantle the powder container. Use a slotted screwdriver to remove the module. It is not necessary to unscrew the control unit to the end, the main thing is that it does not interfere with the removal of the drum.
Remove the hatch cuff, pull out the lower bar by unscrewing the screws. It is necessary to dismantle electronics, shock absorbers and other parts from the loading tank.
Remove the drum from the device and disassemble it. Remove the screws holding the two sides of the drum. Pry the oil seals with a screwdriver and remove them.
The bearing in the drum can break and wear. It needs to be replaced. You only need to buy a bearing of the corresponding brand in a specialized store or order it on the official website of the Ariston washing machine, possibly purchase it in an equipment repair workshop.
Use a metal rod and a hammer to knock out the bearings. If they are defective, replace them. If the drum is deformed, replace it with a new one.
Reassemble. If the malfunction is in the plastic rib, then you do not need to disassemble the tank. The washer door is removed. A metal rod is taken, the diameter of which is smaller than the holes in the plastic rib of the drum.
The rod is inserted into one of the holes on the rib, the latch is opened with it, the plastic part is removed. A new plastic rib is put in its place. Slide along the groove with the plastic rib until the latch enters the hole and closes.
The LED indicators on the control panel receive a signal from the faulty unit. An error code is reflected on the display, indicating a breakdown of some element.
In the Ariston Margarita 2000 washing machine, in case of a malfunction, the power button starts blinking and the handle of the command device is constantly turning. The flashing pattern is different depending on the fault. The codes can be found in the instructions for the machine.
The control unit may fail due to mechanical damage, water ingress on it. Do-it-yourself repair of the control module can be done on your own only when a small part has failed or you need to replace the board completely.
In other cases, contact the service. Professionals will help you repair, rewire complex electronic circuits.
It is necessary to unscrew the screws on the board or remove the plates with a wrench, depending on its brand. Remove the control unit by replacing it with a new one. Screw in the fasteners carefully so as not to damage any part.
The price of the repair depends on its complexity. If the device does not drain the water, then the cost of restoration work ranges from 1200 to 3000 rubles.
Repair of the control module costs more than 3,500 rubles. The rattle and clatter of a typewriter can be corrected at a service center in Moscow for a price of 3,000 to 5,000 rubles.
