Question about Ariston Technologies AWD 121

Ariston Model details not handy - but has a manual setting dial on the right!

Problem- Acquired this washer dryer from an aquaintance ..ahh the model is a Margherita! The program dial started spinning midway through the cycle. Following this I tried to reset the machine in order to remove the clothes. But to no avail as door would not open and why would it the water was still in the drum. Just kept on flashing (about 10 flashes if it means anything). Eventually managed to get rid of the water by draining the drum manually. Got the clothes out and then kicked the machine hoping like all other electronics appliances would repair itself...well no not this one and managed to get a sore toe too! Not funny ok. Right so what can be done about this..not the toe silly the problem with the machine. Wonder if this information would be related to the problem. The machine had been in the garage for about 4 months before I used it and it was the 3rd wash when I encountered the problem. Your time and efforts on this will be highly appretiated. Many thanks in advance. Regards

It would be nothing to do with the time in storage if that was a problem it would have shown its self on the first wash. The three most likely faults would be,no pump due to small blockage ie: button or coin, damaged pump, seized Next fault could be an open circuit heater, if you put a multi meter across the two contacts with the wires dsconnected, and if you select continuity it will beep. If you have a Ohm meter select a low range you should get around 23 omhs.Lastly the brushes in the motor could of worn, or the motor itself could be wrong do a continuity test on the contacts.If you have Insulation resistance tester make sure the machine on a whole has enough resistance ideally above 3 Megohms, prior to doing that test you must do an earth continuity test. MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS

p.s the actual control module could be faulty aswell this is not easy to test but after checking all the other parts it wont be much else.

Check motor brushes for wear. Brush length is about 30mm new; 10mm or less is too short to do what they're meant to.

Ariston AS66VXNA dryer - everything works but no heat- looking for a schematic to check out and troubleshoot - where can I get detailed schematic?

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.

How do I translate the manual?!?

hi i have this machine ,when you open the draw on the left hand side ,the detergent goes in the largest section ,fabric softner in the mesh one ,pre wash (bleach etc in other one)now for washing just use cycles 1,2.3,or 4 one being the longest cycle 4 being shortest middle knob is temp, last knob is dryer, if you want it to dry automatically after a load of washing put it on the iron or other to window looking symbols ,otherwise if not drying have it on 0.i would send u a manual but i've lost mine hence why i'm on his site at all.Hope this helps get u started.
