furryizzard

Hi 1st time post,

My washing machine has packed up grrrrrrr
We have an Ariston Margerita 2000 and the programme selector knob keeps turning?

I have followed advice from the manual, just wondering if its terminal and need to get a new machine. any advice would be great.... this is what the manual suggests .......

" programme selector knob keeps turning?
Wait a few minutes for the drain pump to empty the tub,
switch Margherita off, select one of the symbols stop/reset
then switch it back on. If the knob continues to turn, call for
assistance because it is showing an anomaly."

Can't help, but you might want to go to http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk where you will find a washing machine forum. You can put a search for your model and see if it comes up with anything. If not, you could always post a question on there yourself.

Hi,

I had the same problem. I start my wash cycle and it would fill with water then it would stop and the programme dial will start clicking around and won’t stop. I tried unplugging it for a day and it still wouldn’t work. My friend had the same problem and it cost his quite a bit to fix and I started to look for new washing machines. But before I bought a new one, I thought I’d try and see if anyone had the same issue and solved it. I only found one solution on the net and I gave it a try and it WORKED! Saved me a lot of money.

Basically, it’s an electrical problem. You need to unplug the machine and open up the back of the machine, and unplug all the connectors that are connected to the circuit board. Plug the machine back in and turn the machine on for 2 min. then power off and unplug it and reconnect all the connectors back to the circuit board and it should work – well it did for me – detailed info in the link below.

I found many people with the same problem so I thought I’d share my experience.

Give it ago, I’m not sure if it would work for you but its worth a try. I can't post the link to the site, but if you want it, just message me.

jonyl that post was 18 months ago and the OP had already fixed the problem-it was the motor brushes.
