Ariston AQXXL109 All lights flashing cycle stops

If it flashes again the error code displays on the vertical stack of termperature leds.

Don’t the error code lights stay on rather than flash Murv?

Yes, the temperature strip showing the binary error code will be solid.

Right its fixed. Turns out after once again removing the outlet tube off the bottom of the drum I found the problem.
A loyalty card had somehow found its way into the drum and was floating around in the bottom. On empty it was being sucked down and was closing off the outlet starving the pump. The empty cycle was taking longer than it should so it went into error.
Its was only luck that I spotted it through the hole.
Its done 2 full washes no problem.
Wish id seen Murvs tip about the error code on the temp stack sooner . lesson learnt for future.
So it would seem that on an Ariston if all the lights are flashing then there’s an error somewhere go find it.
The swollen capacitor on the board seems not to have been related. Its replaced anyway.

Thanks iadom for keeping me on the straight and narrow, really appreciated your input.
Learnt heaps about washers though 🙂
All the best from New Zealand. Stay safe

if every lights flash its the cap
if all lights flash except the temp stack its a fault
