Re: Ariston Margherita 2000
Would need your model number to be sure, but the filter (assuming it has one, some do not) is usually behind the plastic ‘kick plate’ on the lower edge of the front of the appliance. This will probably pull off with some persuasion and the filter cap will be seen behind it. Do not unscrew this without draining off the water left in the drum first. If it is below door level, you should be able to open the door and scoop it out with a cup. Have a big towel ready just in case and unplug the machine first to be safe. Un screw the filter(either by hand or some need the use of a slotted screwdriver) and then look inside the filter housing (the part where the filter came from) with a torch and check nothing is obstructing the impellor in there. Make sure you put the filter back correctly and tighten it up before testing the machine, keep an eye out for any leaks which may be due to incorrect re fitting of the filter.
