We started to launch the Ariston washing machine, put dirty laundry in the window, installed the program, and as a result we got the abbreviation F03 / F3 on the screen and the device stopped. Sometimes the process of water injection can begin and immediately drain it, or the device does not work at all and the code F03 is displayed immediately after startup.
Or such a problem may occur later, when the process of heating the water begins. Also, such a cipher may disappear after a reboot, but later it reappears and the unit still does not work.
When the screen is not provided on the washing machine by the manufacturer, it will display the malfunction as follows:
- The first units, which have only two indicators (network and sunroof lock), display a breakdown by blinking indicator lights at intervals of up to 10 seconds and constantly turning the knob clockwise with certain audible clicks.
- Cars of the AVL, AVTL, AVSL, CDE, etc. models display a problem by blinking two indicator lights, which are responsible for additional programs, and in addition to blinking, the porthole lock indicator is blinking at a lower frequency.
- Hotpoint-Ariston models ARSL, ARXL, AVM and others. The lower indicator lamps in the program vertical blink (“Door lock” and “program end”). In addition, to indicate an error, the indications of additional modes are lit.
- Aqualtis devices in the AQSL, AQ9L, AQS0L, and other models report an F3 problem due to the blinking of two indicator lights that are responsible for temperature conditions.
The meaning of the combination of problems
Fault F3 in the Ariston or Hotpoint-Ariston unit notifies that the temperature control sensor is not working.
This abbreviation mainly indicates a malfunction of the temperature control sensor. It can be eliminated only by a professional and experienced specialist, a master in the repair of household appliances.
Malfunction F 03 and how to deal with it without professional help
- Software crash. To fix a malfunction in the control module, you need to disconnect the device from the power supply. After 10-15 minutes, reconnect your washing machine and run the program you need.
- Contact failure in the temperature controller. Check all contact connections from the temperature controller to the electronic board (device computer). As a result of constant shaking (pushing, shaking) in the spin and wash mode, breaks in the power supply circuit may appear, especially when your device is improperly installed (check the position of the building level).
Have you checked everything? Does the unit refuse to continue to work? Then you have only one thing left, call the washing machine repair technician.
