Re: Recovering item from outer drum – Ariston AWD12

Done. Tipped it forward just enough to get underneath and remove the hose, the card was right there at the bottom. 🙂

Cheers for your advice.

Re: Recovering item from outer drum – Ariston AWD12

Thanks for the reply. Yes absolutely, it is indeed our fault for putting foreign objects in the wash, apart from the ribbons and stringy bits which have fallen off clothes of course. Just wanted to make the point that, from past experience, it is extremely likely that the card has gone into the drum.

Doesn’t sound very likely that I’ll be able to remove it, but worth a try.

The sump hose looks like the obvious place to start, do you know where I am likely to find this and how I can access it? I assume it is at the bottom front, in which case I can turn the machine on its side and access from underneath? Any special tools required?

Cheers.

Re: Ariston Margherita AWD12 Blowing cold

Does anyone know the rating of the thermal fuse for this model?

Thinking of just buying one and replacing it because it is so cheap, worth a try.

Is it possible to just bypass the thermal fuse by connecting the ends of the cable, just to see if that is the problem? I assume it shouldn’t cause any problems just for testing purposes?

Thanks.
