Re: ariston a1235 fault
As this machine is fairly new and is in fact a Hotpoint based machine with the rather unreliable Indesit electronics in it. The fault codes for these machines are different, the Hotpoint varient uses five ‘Option’ neons down the left hand side of the console for fault codes. At the moment I would guess that the information on your machines fault codes will not be widely available.
If your neons are in a bank of five, then if it is the same as the Hotpoint machine the third neon from the bottom ( or the top ) indicates F02 which could be a motor fault, does the drum revolve smoothly if you try to turn it by hand ?
I am not sure,but you may have a five year parts gaurantee on this machine, if so you will only pay the Indesit Companies £89.95 labour charge, all parts will be free.
EDIT. Looking a picture, your machine has a different display/console module to the Hotpoint so the fault codes will differ. 😥
