Ariston AWD12 Washer Drier…

[laurenceuk]

I am attending this machine tomorrow. The customer complains that it will not do a wash only prog but now always goes straight into the drying phase also. She says it is 3 years old so I am assuming she understands the controls and has not left some button activated.

Any hints would be appreciated

Thanks

It’s an Indesit clone with EVO1 controls, it could be anything although it should in theory be flashing some error code 😕

Best go along with an open mind on this one Laurence, I would 😕

Stick to hearing the facts direct from your customer on site, then make a few “tut, tut, oh dear what have we here?” type expressions, (gets ’em cautious to what comes next)….then look at the pump. :rotfl:

Most likely something is open circuit as they abort, dial clicks round and the blower fan comes on, you’ve read about it hundreds of times I know.

“Poke an’ hope or leave it broke!” ….is what we say in the trade 😉

Send it to us for test £4+vat (includes return first class post) – at least you will know if the board is ok. Tony http://www.emwelec.co.uk

I had a similar fault on a Ind WD12UK once, Flashed 13 times, turned out to be a wire broken off on one of the t/stats on the dryer heater housing.

Hi Folks.

The customer had just moved in and even before I took the lid off the customer commented that she was annoyed as the removing people did not put on the transit brackets.

When I took the lid off the problem showed itself immediately: the plug on the t/d timer potentiometer had been snapped off by the the t/d heater cowling hitting into it during removals.

Thanks for the help especially the “Poke an’ hope or leave it broke!” I am gratefull that a gap in my diagnostic abilities has now been closed. 😆
