I am pretty certain from reading forum that I have error code 1 – after power on LED 2 flashes for 30 seconds, pump starts then dial clicks round with 1 flash repeating once per “dot”.
Can anybody tell me meaning of error code 1 or if I am on the wrong track.
If its any use – I’ve tested temperature sensor – responds to change in temp with resistance change. Motor brushes seem ok and water fill relay changes over.

Can you give us the correct model number as opposed to its name, these machines are either a 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} Indesit clone ( bad news) or a Hotpoint based machine with Indesit electronics ( not much better news). The timer clicking round suggests an Indesit clone. When the timer clicks round the neon will flash then pause, however the control will keep on clicking round until you stop it.
If you do have error code 1 then that infers a short circuited triac, a faulty module in other words.

Re: Ariston Margherita 2000 Error code 1
Model number is either “A 1435UK” or “LB2000C” – both printed on the back. Your description of the timer clicking round sounds right.
If it is the triac, I have had some success changing a triac on a extractor fan. I don’t suppose anyone has any circuits?
Re: Ariston Margherita 2000 Error code 1
Sadly that is an Indesit clone. 😥 There is a possibility that something has caused the triac to fail. Even the Indesit engineers themselves do not posess full control board circuitry information.
Two different modules depending on serial number at around £70 + vat they come without the eeprom which is around £8.50 + vat. A full check of all other components and wiring would be need to make certain that the triac in question has not been damaged by one of them.
Given the quality and reliability :rolls: of this model range you may want to consider your next move with great circumspection.

Re: Ariston Margherita 2000 Error code 1
Thanks for the advice.
I will have a go at replacing the triac if I can identify it and get it from RS Components. If that fails – possible as you say down to other problem, I will invest in new machine – I was thinking about Bosch this time!
One more question – do you know what the triac controls – is it the spin motor?

Wise choice, this one is also well worth considering 😉 http://tinyurl.com/q6ahg
From memory there are two triacs on these boards, one at least will be used to control the motor, but as I mentioned, often damaged by other components.
