Dave,

Thanks for the info – I will discuss with my better half and take things from there. At that price might be worth fixing the old squib yet !

Hi

Thanks for your reply – I can see me going for the replacement route as I did with the washing machine and in that case went for Bosch. Will do same for the dishwasher.

Incedentally what is the approx cost a new heating element thingy for the’ old nail’ a.k.a. Ariston

Maybe after this debacle i’ll be able to change my name from arist-off !!

Hi Thanks for your reply,

Not really meant to be a daft question – but based on your experience/ knowledge…….

This is a 4 yr old machine do you think it’s worth fixing and what would I need to do to diagnose the faults? My friend is an very competant electrical & maintenance engineer so I woulg get him to test ‘whatever’.
Just need to know if there are obvious thing to look for

Is it relatively easy to test with a meter or is likely to be a duff circuit board/PCB ? I gather these ain’t cheap??

Appreciate I’m asking the proverbial $64,000 question, but am just trying to ascertain whether it worth getting involved? or just buy something new ?

After my recent experiences with Ariston, i’m never buying them again – cos they are obviousy utter sh*te now – used to be good in days gone by. Very dissapointing

Re: Ariston AFA 400 X Dishwasher Error AO1

Fault now fixed and dishwasher working fine – Thanks very much for your
assistance 😀

The base of the machine was full of water. After removing the
bottom I now understand how it works and was particularly impressed with the ‘hi-tech’ aquastop 😉

….A small polystyrene float which actuates a switch !

Is the idea behind this so that if your machine gets blocked or leaks, it cuts out to save further damage to the machine or dumping loads of water on your floor ?

Also is there some sort of pressure switch that( in the event of a
blockage )causes water to be discharged into the bottom of the machine
via the open-ended black hose attached to the pump??

I’m assuming ours had a temp blockage as I had it running last night and it doesn’t leak.

Cheers.

Hi Again

Thanks for the info – followed your advice but doesn’t seem to work 🙁

The machine was already powered down – unplugged it earlier today. So only had to disconnect/reconnect water and power up

Still getting error

Any other ideas ?

Tx.
