If the Ariston dishwasher gives an error code of 11, then there are problems with the circulation pump. Hotpoint Ariston dishwashers are equipped with a control module that detects system malfunctions. As soon as a malfunction occurs, a fault code is displayed. Explanation of symbols is indicated in the instruction manual.
Let's figure out how to fix the situation yourself.
Reasons for and solutions
If the PMM displays an A11 error on the scoreboard, the Hotpoint Ariston system warns you about problems with the pump. The reason that the machine can show the code is the lack of power to the engine or its blocking by a foreign object. Perhaps there was a break in the winding, wiring was damaged.
What to do? It is necessary to check everything and replace the defective parts. First of all, a system failure is eliminated when the module mistakenly displays icons on the screen. To reset the code:
- unplug the PMM plug from the outlet;
- wait 10-15 minutes;
- restart the launch.
Did the A11 characters reappear on the display? Then you need to look for a problem.
To check the engine, you need to disassemble the car. How to troubleshoot and replace the pump:
- Open the camera door.
- Remove the baskets from the hopper.
- Unscrew the drain filter.
- Turn off bolts of fastening of the circulation block.
- Turn the technique “on your back”.
- Remove the screws around the perimeter of the bottom cover. Remove it and set it aside.
- Inspect the engine. To check the winding and the electronic part, use a multimeter.
- Check wiring at the time of burning.
- Remove the block and see if a foreign object is stuck inside.
Have you noticed a problem? Then replace the part. If it is a blockage, then it is enough to eliminate its cause and install the pump in place. Cleaning with chemicals in this case is useless. If the repair seems too complicated, then it is better to call the wizard.
