Re: Ariston Margherita 2000 – I also have a problem!

hi guys,
I have a problem with an AWD12 advantage ,about a year ago i had the 13 flashes wheel turn fault ,when i ordered coil,thermister,thermal fuse and fitted them it worked perfectly.

About a month ago it did it again so i replaced said items again ! It worked for a couple of times and then took out the thermal fuse ! I replaced said fuse ,it worked for half a dry cycle and then went again.

The condenser is clear as is the fan etc..

Any ideas because i’ve a new baby and weather is turning crappy !!

thanks jim

Have sent e-mail to spares@ ,do you think that the thermal fuse is needed ? if yes, where is it in machine ?

Do i need to open an account with your shop ?

I don’t think it matters which blue wire goes on either end of coil ,just one splits from fan motor !

The part that broke was round with 2 spade connectors, 😕 is that the thermister or fuse (it had 2 springs in it !!) 🙄

How much is carriage and how long will it take ? 😕

Also i forgot to note the wiring properly does it matter which way the blue wires go on the heating coil ❗ One wire splits and i can’t remember if it goes to one end or the other 😕

If it needs both parts then thats ok

thanks jim

Have stripped heater duct and condenser duct (full of fluff as you said ). 😯

Heater coil looks burnt out and what i asume is the thermister switch broke into several pieces !! 😕

Can i get these parts seperate or is it one big lump ?

If you could give me the part numbers etc i would be very grateful because the wife is giving me grief . 😉

It relates to a dryer heating or overheating problem?

Either the condenser duct is blocked with fluff or the Dryer Thermistor is open circuit. The former the more likely 😉

Now I know you want a avoid the £90 call-out Ariston charge, could I therefore venture to suggest you try a local engineer who will be much cheaper (see link below) as it is NOT a DIY fix in any event 🙂

Thanks for such a quick reply martin ,but there doesn’t seem to be anyone in my area . 😥

As i have already had my head under the machine ,where is this condenser duct you mentioned ? as i will have another look . 😉

I Have A Margherita 2000 AWD12 Advantage about 4 years old ,never had any problems ,until now !!

Light on start button flashes 13 times and program knob keeps spinning.

Have read all posts relating to model ,tried turning on and off in different sequences,taken filter,tubes and motor off and checked ,no change (apart from 2p found in filter) 🙄
Any help you can give would be great because ariston quoted £90 call-out and i would prefer to fix it for less . 😉
