margherita 2000 troubleshooting

[dazz]

Can anyone help me? My Ariston Margherita 2000 ab95 won’t drain or spin. The programming KNOB keeps turning. My girlfriend will kill me when she gets in. cheers

Unplug machine. Lower end of drain/waste hose into a bucket. Let gravity allow the water to run out. Sounds like a coin/hairgrip etc jammed in drain pump impellor. Check in filter (have a towel handy as there will always be some water left in machine). If clear then possibly pump has failed.

I have the exact same problem! The additional problem I have is that I’ve lost the user manual and now haven’t a clue where the filter is(!) – there’s no obvious door that might open to reveal a filter. Can someone enlighten me before I rip the thing apart searching? Thanks 🙂

Model number please shir, 2000 is a generic range of washing machines.

The pump is behind the bottom plastic kick panel. Simply ease the panel off using a screwdiver on its top edge (no force required). The pump filter cover is accessed by turning anti-clockwise. (Have a few towels ready if the machine is full of water ‘cos it will flood out!!)

When you have dried up, check the impellor behind the filter is clear and free to rotate. Reassemble in reverse order :tup:

Job done!

Thank you all SO MUCH – it fixed my machine! yey! blinkin 5p piece.

I’d done a trip to the laundrette with one batch of washing (just in case) but thank God it looks like I won’t have to do another (touch wood).

Strikes me that the pump needs closer attention in this case 😉
