Error code F04 in the washing machine Ariston

We loaded the laundry into the drum of the unit, turned on the washing mode. And as a result, instead of executing the set mode, a failure occurred, and the display showed a breakdown of F04 or F4. First, she tried to pump water, after it was drained and issued the abbreviation F4.

If the manufacturer does not provide a screen for the device, then you will find a malfunction as a result of blinking indicator lights:

• In the first Ariston Margherita models, equipped with only two indicator lights responsible for network and hatch blocking, an error is displayed by blinking the power indicator in a cycle (4 flashes in a row, then an interval of up to 15 seconds and blinking again). The switch knob constantly rotates clockwise with certain audible clicks.
• In Ariston washing machines of the model series AV, AVL, AVTL, AVSL, CDE, etc., the problem is displayed by blinking the third indicator, which is responsible for additional programs (the countdown must be carried out from the bottom up). Additionally, the indicator light corresponding to the porthole lock will flash.
• If you have Hotpoint-Ariston ARTL, ARSL, ARXL, AVM, etc., you can determine such an error by blinking the button responsible for draining. Or by flashing all the buttons that are responsible for additional functions.
• Hotpoint-Ariston units of the AQSL, AQ9L, AQS0L, etc. models notify of a F04 problem by blinking the indicator light, which is responsible for the temperature regime of 40 ° C.

Fault value

The abbreviation F04, which appears on the display, indicates a malfunction of the level controller located in the water tank. If the pressure switch is defective, then the machine pumps water, and can not determine the level and amount of liquid in the tank. Therefore, the machine downloads, and then performs the discharge of water.

The fault value is very simple, the level control sensor of the water pumped into the drum does not work. Basically, such repairs are carried out only by specialists.
