Ariston Dryer Error Codes If you have a tumble dryer that malfunctions you may be left scratching your head as to the problem. But don’t despair, there’s a good chance your machine will let you know the cause of the issue by displaying an error code, either by showing a letter and number on the electronic display or by illuminating or flashing various lights on the control board of your machine.
Ariston Dryer Error Code Solutions
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.
F16 – Extremely high water level. Disconnect or turn off the water supply and ensure that the water level does not rise any more*
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*
F30/31 – A motor drive problem has occurred. Try running the programme again. If the problem persist, book an engineer.
F40 – Water below protection level during a heat step*
F41 – Water level detect sequence incorrect*
F50/51 – Customer language and wash programme have not been saved. The system will run with default conditions (1000rpm max and English language)*
