We will always try to keep this up to date but every printed circuit board behind the control panel has its own diagnostic system so this is only a guide for you.

Merloni made washing machines (Ariston, Hotpoint Indesit) just to name a few, if there are no flashes or error code displayed but door lock LED is lit and washing machine fails to start then check door lock and associated connections .

Basic type

F10 – No cold fill. Check that the taps are on or if the drain hoses are kinked.

F11 – No hot fill. The ambient temperature is likely to be below freezing possibly due to the pipes being frozen. Also check that the taps are on or if the drain hoses are kinked.
F12 – No mixed fill. It is likely that the water is not turned on at the taps.
F13 – Check the water supply, inlet valve and hot and cold hose connections.
F14 – A fault with the water heating has occurred*
F15 – Water is not being pumped out and a flood condition could occur. Check that the drainage hose is raised to the recommended minimum height and that the pipe is not blocked.

F17 – Door not closed properly. Close door firmly at the 3 o’clock position.
F20/1 – The thermistor resistance has drifted or the temperature scanning sequence is incorrect. The ambient temperature could be below freezing*

    Buenas tardes, tengo una lavadora Ariston Aqualtis AQXXL 129, que al darle inicio a cualquier programa, comienza a titilar todas las luces del display y se enciende la bomba de agua. Luego de eso, no responde a ningun comando y queda siempre asi. Lo unico que queda es desenchufarlo y al volver a intentar pedir que realice cualquier funcion o programa,vuelve a suceder lo mismo. Buscando los codigos de error de ariston no encuentro informacion sobre este. Alguien podria darme una mano?

    I have an Ariston front load washer in my motorhome. I have it at Camping World in Burlington, Washington because it will not start up.
    They have installed a control board, a door latch switch and tried to bypass the door switch with no success. The cost of labor and parts has exceeded the cost of a new Ariston Washing Machine. Should I ask them to stop or could I get a representative of Ariston to call Camping World at 360 707 5797. They are a sales point for Ariston and at this point I would be willing to buy a New Ariston if they would give me a credit for the work that they have done. It almost appears like they are trying to run the bill as high as they can even though they have surpassed the list price of a new replacement.
    I would very much appreciate if you would call them and help me get this corrected.

    I have an Ariston washer dryer combo for more than one year and now it has Error F-18. Can you let me know how to fix it? What part I need to buy? Thank you.

    I have an Indesit PWE91672WUK washing machine that emptied on final rinse but pump motor continued to run until I powered the machine off. Looking at you fault codes above it would appear to be the pressure switch being stuck on full. Where is the pressure s/w and can it be replaced or is it part of the pump assy?@
    Regards Ian

    Hi there
    I have an IDCE 8450 BH condensing drier with an error code of F08.

    From reading your site it looks like a heater problem but I’m not sure of what steps to take to investigate and fix this.

    Thank you for your help
    Jon
