Re: Ariston A1636 – unresponsive – flashing lights

Is what really worth that much??
Ah thanks for the info, I was referring to the value of a new PCB like the one in the link.
Re: Ariston 1436 Washer stops on rinse – but off/on overcome
Hi there – I know that this is an old thread and you’ve most likely either fixed it or replaced it by now – but I had a similar problem and it’s sounding more like worn motor brushes.
Re: Ariston A1436 sticks randomly on wash cycle
Right, in the interests of helping others with similar problems, I’ve now fixed the issue.
Firstly, there was nothing wrong with the old PCB. It was all down to the motor brushes being worn down and split. They were only making intermittent contact with the motor, failing completely after a few minutes of use.
As for the new PCB and the problem of it dumping water almost immediately after starting a wash cycle, an engineer informs me it’s due to a newer version of firmware on the card, it’s testing the pumps are working before starting in earnest.
I asked if this meant my detergent was being partially washed away and he said no, it only puts water in the drawer you aren’t using for that program (which usually means the pre-wash drawer as it’s rarely used).
So, I’m a happy bunny again with clothes that don’t smell. I hope the above helps someone sometime. 🙂
Re: Ariston A1636 – unresponsive – flashing lights
Hmm, I have a fully working PCB for an Ariston A1436, not 1636, not sure if it’s compatible?
It was taken out and replaced with a new board, only it turns out worn brushes were the real culprit. Are they really worth that much?
I think another chap had a similar problem in this thread:

But unlike him, an on off cycle only randomly did the trick, and now it appears it doesn’t work at all.
EDIT: Oh, and when I try to select a wash cycle now, I can hear the lock click on, the door is indeed locked but the lock light isn’t on, only the single program light I selected. Then it just sits there.
