Ariston tx100 ex DIY repair

Details: ariston tx100 ex do-it-yourself repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

no water inlet (valve resistance is approximately the same
3 kOhm) the light is on, when installed on the drain - the pump works, when installed on the spin cycle - the pump works and the drum does not turn.

valek31, and where did you “dig” at all? What is "accumulated"? Did you read the rules?

That's why I'm asking because I don't know where to dig, what to look for. I removed the collector motor control board - I didn’t see anything worthy of attention on it. I didn’t look at the brushes, but I turned on the motor from the thyristor regulator - the motor turns. ten - it rings, there is no leakage on megohms to the case. Although in my opinion in this case it was all in vain. I would like to be told what to look for in such cases.

I would like to know - faulty engine meters can give such a defect (the motor was not removed because they asked for a set of heads for the weekend, and then, as an evil, an urgent client)

I mean the old one which is given by reference

Eh valek31, valek31, and how not to swear at you (“trowels”) after this.
UBL does not work for you, and you are already trying to finish off the motor control module and the motor itself. Image - Ariston tx100 ex DIY repair

regiss, why poke your finger like that right away, if valek31 does not know how any SMA starts - let him pick the module with the engine. It took me 2-3 weeks ago to repair such a machine with the same malfunction with a smoke break Image - Ariston tx100 ex DIY repair

So after all, someone, with their tips, produces such “craftsmen”. Image - Ariston tx100 ex DIY repair

constant, probably at regiss, very good mood was. Is it him? Doesn't look like himself Image - Ariston tx100 ex DIY repair

Video (click to play).

the fact is, gentlemen, that the UBL was inspected first, the inspection showed that it had been disconnected for a long time, and the contacts were short-circuited (sorry, I forgot to say).

although of course thanks, I used to think that if UBL didn’t work, then nothing would work at all.

it was this delusion that prompted me to all the other meaningless checks that seemed ridiculous to you (probably for many, if you don’t already know where to dig, then you consistently check everything). but not everything is as pointless as it might seem at first glance, on the control board of the collector motor, both relays had dry solder joints, the contacts on the motor along the tacho circuit were heavily oxidized. I understand, of course, that the respected SHAITAN would hardly bother himself with such checks with these symptoms, all the more so he would remove the engine to view the condition of the brushes. But many customers ask, in addition to repairs, to diagnose the car, and we charge them money for this (as it will not be funny to some), but I’m sorry for my misconception, I confess that I didn’t know and didn’t check this circuit in more detail, because I saw that the sunroof was turned off (and before that she worked for them)

Multifunctional Italian units from this company are considered very popular due to their ergonomics and reliability, but they can also fail. Failures in SMA Ariston are rare phenomena, since the manufacturer guarantees the reliability of his product. But there are several typical cases involving the replacement of failed elements. In such situations, it is quite possible to repair Ariston washing machines on your own. The intervention of experienced specialists will be required only in particularly difficult cases.

The vast majority of Ariston machine failures are caused by their operation. This opinion was reached by the masters of services providing repair services. Sometimes problems are caused by outright violations of the operating rules, but the environment in which the machine is operated should not be discounted.

A well-known brand has found its niche in the market.But, like other models, the washing machine is prone to minor breakdowns, which most often occur due to careless handling of the device. The point is that each element has a certain working resource. For example, the brushes of an electric motor without replacement can last about twelve years. During this period, they wear out and need to be replaced. A little earlier, the drive belt loses its performance, which also changes, for which you will have to disassemble the washing machine.

For some failures, Ariston washing machines can be repaired on their own, without the intervention of service center specialists. Some of the simpler and more common failures include:

  • the washer does not turn on;
  • waste water is not drained;
  • washing water is not heated;
  • the drum has stopped rotating;
  • during the operation of the machine, a crunch and rattle are heard.

For more serious questions, it is recommended to call the master.

The failures listed above can occur for certain reasons, which you can eliminate with your own hands.

If there is a similar problem, do not rush to call the master. The main symptom of this problem is the idle operation of the pump, the lack of water drain. As a rule, this problem happens after washing, the machine does not drain the water to switch to rinsing, or it does it too slowly. A blockage can form at certain points:

  • in the drain pipe located between the filter and the tank. It rarely happens, because the nozzle is thick enough;
  • in the water filter. In this place, blockage occurs most often;

  • in the pump. For a machine of this brand, blockage in this place is rare, because another filter is mounted in front of the pump;
  • in the drain hose. A rare occurrence that can be caused by improper hose installation.

When removing a blockage, you must first inspect and clean the most accessible places of the washer. First of all, the drain filter is unscrewed, located in the lower part on the right, behind a narrow panel. Before you start unscrewing the filter, you need to put a rag to collect spilled water. After cleaning the filter from debris, it can be put in place.

The second step is to check the drain hose. It is unscrewed and cleaned with a cable. After that, the hose is installed in its place.

If the problem persists, you will have to disassemble the machine to clean the pump and pipes. To remove the pipes, a pair of clamps is released, and when dismantling the pump, disconnect the electrical wiring and unscrew the mounting screws.

  1. Failure of the pump and water intake valve.

A broken water inlet valve, by all indications, is quite difficult to confuse with other washing machine malfunctions. When this element ceases to close the flow of water, it enters the tank by gravity, even when the machine is de-energized from the mains.

If you hear the characteristic murmur of flowing and draining water when the unit is turned off, you can be absolutely sure that the problem lies precisely in the valve.

To check this element, you should remove the top panel, which requires unscrewing a couple of bolts. The valve is located at the point of connection of the hose intended for collecting water with the SMA body. First you need to check the gaskets, then measure the resistance of the device using a multimeter. To do this, the probes are exposed to the contacts of the intake valve, and a check is performed. A value of 30 - 50 ohms should be displayed on the device.

The failed element must be replaced with an analogue, it is no longer subject to repair. The replacement process is quite fast. You just need to unscrew the old element, and install a new one in its place, connecting all the sensors.

The problem arises with a failed pump, since such a part is quite expensive. A failed pump will give itself away during the washing process, when the unit should drain the waste water, but this does not happen.At the same time, no sounds are heard from the pump, or it buzzes idle, and the murmur of flowing water is not heard.

It should be noted here that such signs are considered approximate and may well confirm that there are problems of a different nature. For example, the electronics failed. And yet, first of all, you need to check the pump.

In Ariston, it is located below, it is possible to get to it through the bottom of the machine. It is necessary to entrust the master to check and change the pump, but some craftsmen do this work on their own.

  1. Failure of the water heating element.

The heating element is considered an important part, which is responsible for maintaining the temperature of the water in the tank, respectively, and for the quality of the washing process. If it breaks, washing may not start at all, an error code will be displayed on the screen, or washing will start in cold water. Both phenomena should cause you to inspect the heating element, check it for operability and, if necessary, replace it.

The verification is fairly easy. It is necessary to deploy the washing machine, on the back panel from the bottom, find a service hatch, fixed with latches and self-tapping screws. After unscrewing and squeezing the fasteners, remove the cover. Under the tank are two contacts fixed in the middle. The screw must be unscrewed, then the heating element is carefully pulled towards itself. At this point, it can be gently rocked in different directions.

It is recommended that before removing the heating element, check its resistance using a multimeter.

If, however, the heating element is burned out, it is replaced with a similar one. Installation is carried out in reverse order.

  1. Bearing failure.

It is no longer a secret that the failure of oil seals or bearings is a rather rare phenomenon in Ariston. But sometimes this happens, and appropriate measures must be taken immediately. Such a breakdown is recognized quite easily - in the bearing, after its destruction, all rubbing elements make unpleasant sounds, the shaft rubs against the bushing, forming a wear. If you do not take appropriate measures and continue to use the washing machine, play will appear in the drum, which will damage the tub.

So that the machine does not break down completely, you should, having heard such sounds, immediately call the wizard, or make an attempt to replace the bearings on your own. The main difficulty lies in the fact that you have to disassemble the washer. Bearings must be removed so as not to damage the bushing, install new elements in the vacated space. And here, due skill will already be required, otherwise the repair will not bring positive results.
