My Ariston washer dryer wont turn the drum although everything else is functioning as normal

your bearrings may be seized up

it sounds like the nob is striped try replacing the knob.

Hi, your washing machine makes noises because all the clothes and other materials are not balanced evenly--one side is heavier than the other--causing the drum to hit the sides of the washer wall.

You can find a manual for your model here>>>>>>>>> http://laundry.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/ariston/asl70c_1.html Let me ad that you may have just one side of the 240 volt circuit breaker or fuse set tripped or blown allowing all of the electronic functions, but not allowing the full 240 volts across the heating element. One way is to check the fuse box first and then proceed to measure voltage across the heating element after turning on the dryer. Please use caution while doing this.

Sounds like drum bearings?? not for the faint hearted! could cost around 100 to get engineer to repair.

Remove drum drive belt, and spin drum by hand, if there is any resistance,. or it feels rough or noisy, the the main bearigs have probably failed.
If it is o/k then check motor for worn or noisy bearings,
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

To start ensure that machine is well balanced, and that the load is well distributed inside the drum.

If the problem is not balancing, then the most common is a broken drum bearing spider or a bad drum bearing. A symptom of drum bearing problems is the drum having excessive play when you spin by hand.
Also struts and springs must be checked.

probably 2 separate faults no heat is possibly either open circuit on the elements which are at the top of the machine, or open circuit thermal cut outs (up to 3 of) located also at the top of the machine near to where the element is and along the flow of the hot air, you can check these with a normal electrical multi-meter, unplug machine before testing as for the vibration on spin, just look for any loose suspension legs, and or twisted drum alignment, very difficult to work on due to lack of access but sometimes just re-tightening the legs up etc, could cure the vibration hope i have helped you to start somewhere take care to note in detail any wires or parts removed or in case of accidental removal

Push the sun symbol button and set it on the time/or the function of the dryer. Thats it. I believe you were using the drying function without heating:)
