Re: ARISTON ADVANTAGE A1B 16 the door lock symbol wont come
If the door is physically locked, it should be sending a signal to the computer board basically saying “GO!”. Therefore, the fault lies possibly in the door lock itself, the wiring or the computer board.
Probably time for pro help I’m afraid – tricky one to identify exactly. Check repairs@ or Directories for a UKW repairer in your area.

This is a component failure on the computer board. Dave Conway will be able to price one up for you, but you won’t like it very much. Please don’t try and adjust the setting screwa on the pressure switch – it is almost impossible to set them accurately.

Why is that every time we get an interesting thread going, we wander madly off topic? :rotfl:

Haven’t had to sort the mess out from that one for a good few years now 😀

Re: What do you love about this job ?
It used to be the satisfaction of a successful repair; making someone’s day a little better. Years passed and my dis-satisfaction with the decline of our industry grew and grew with the descent into rubbish of the home manufacturers, not to mention what comes out of Italy.
These days, I’m quite chipper about it all again! UKW (amongst other things) names and shames the rubbish, supports each other, helps each other and is changing the perception of the business and hopefully the entire direction of the trade for the better.
If you consider your skills, most of us will be : Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Hydraulic Engineers, Electronic Engineers, Educationalists, Social Workers and probably a bit of plumbers. Plumbers get at least £60 an hour, and they only do one thing. Look at our list.
What I really love about this business now is UKW. For better or for worse, none of us is now alone, we have support, direction and a future. And a forum to spout off in at 2 in the morning without getting shouted at!
Much.
Cheers,
Chris.Re: ARISTON AIB16 ADVANTAGE FAULT CODE
The fault code suggests a problem with the water level control system. This is usually a failure of the pressure switch, although this can also be caused by a blockage in the associated pipework.
A replacement switch is actually quite cheap (c.£12 from memory), however, if you are unable to confirm the diagnosis, pro help may be your best option. If you can’t find the paperwork check repairs@ or Directories for a UKW repairer in your area.

Re: UKW CHARTER (amendments)
5/2 – add “where possible” or “2 working days”. Remember that 5pm Friday call……
Otherwise fine.
