A customer of mine got quite upset when I discarded the piece of polystyrene that sits under the Indesit/Ariston ‘Evolution’ range of machines. Challenging me by saying that the installation instructions state it should be left in position?????
I honoured her request and after I fixed the machine, duly put the squared off lump of polystyrene back under the machine and slotted it back into position.
BUT, I would love to know what it is supposed to do and represent? As 95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of Indestit/Aristons I have been to since, have discarded them on installation. Why would Merloni want it left there? and why do they show it on the parts list with no replacement part number if it is that important?
Perhaps its there to stop the air getting to the motor so they burn out more quickly? Belisimo Marco!

It covers the base of the appliance, sits in the subframe underneath and touches the floor. Most folks just throw it away thinking it as just packing. But according to the customer installation instructions it should be left in situ????
Why?

Re: Merloni Polystyrene??
When we were a franchise, they said it was to stop moisture/condensation building up/on the inside of the machine and around the control module. We could not see this working as it was always the plastic tanks leaking onto the motor, blowing the modules and eeprom. 😥
Still, around six months time you will get another callout if the polystyrene is left in place, as the front polystyrene lugs wear away and rubs against the casing. This causes such a horrible noise, especially if the machine is on wooden flooring. 😆
